38 In this diagram, do the populations have equal or unequal variances? Unequal. 90 90 As a result of this class, you will be able to ... 65 The sampling distribution is a function of the sample sizes upon which the sample variances are based. Hint: Recall the formula for variance! s2 = S(x -`x)2/(n-1) An estimator is a random variable used to estimate a population parameter (characteristic). Unbiasedness An estimator is unbiased if the mean of its sampling distribution is equal to the population parameter. Efficiency The efficiency of an unbiased estimator is measured by the variance of
