Tossup

This quantity is minimized for an unbiased estimator that is a function of a complete and sufficient statistic by the Lehmann–Scheffé (“LAY-man shef-FAY”) theorem. Ronald Fisher developed a test that generalizes the t-test to more than two groups named for the “analysis of” this quantity. (10[3])For two random variables X and Y, (10[1])the expected value of X times Y minus the product of the expected values of X and Y gives this quantity’s “co-” form. This quantity is the (10[1])second central (10[1])moment of a distribution, and is equal to the mean for a Poisson (“pwa-SAWN”) distribution. For a random variable X, this quantity is the [read slowly] expected value of X squared, minus the square of the expected value of X. For 10 points, the square of the standard deviation (10[1])is equal to what measure of spread? (10[1])■END■ (10[1]0[1])
