In calculating the sample variance, the sum of the squared deviations around the mean is divided by n - 1 to avoid underestimating the unknown population variance. True or False
In testing the equality of population variances, two assumptions are required: independent samples and normally distributed populations. True False
True or False: To construct a confidence interval about a population variance or standard deviation, either the population from which the sample is drawn must be normal, or the sample size must be large.
