In reference to Inferential Statistics, if \(\bar{x}\) is a sample mean of random data \(\left\{x_i\right\}_{i=1}^n\) and n is the sample size, then the formula \(\frac{1}{n-1} \sum_{i=1}^n\left(x_i-\bar{x}\right)^2\) represents

  1. A Mean
  2. B Variance
  3. C Standard Deviation
  4. D t-Statistic
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) Variance

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

This is used in Inferential Statistics to estimate the variance of a population based on a sample. The formula calculates the average of the squared deviations from the sample mean \(\bar{x}\), but it divides by \(n-1\) instead of \(n\) to correct for the bias in the estimation…
