(Step-by-Step) Suppose that X_1, ... X_n is a random sample from a population with mean μ and unknown variance σ^2. That is E(X_i)=μ and V(X_i)=σ^2


Question: Suppose that \(X_{1}, \ldots X_{n}\) is a random sample from a population with mean \(\mu\) and unknown variance \(\sigma^{2}\). That is \(E\left(X_{i}\right)=\mu\) and \(V\left(X_{i}\right)=\sigma^{2}\) for each \(\mathrm{i}\).

Prove that \(S^{2}=\frac{1}{n-1}\left(\sum X_{i}^{2}-n \bar{X}^{2}\right)\) is an unbiased estimator of \(\sigma^{2}\).
