<p>All you need to do is show that the equation $a^3-6a^2-2=0$ has no positive integer solution. If it did, then you'd have $a^2(a-6)=2$. But $a^2\mid2$ implies $a=1$, in which case $a^2(a-6)=-5\not=2$.</p>

<p>I'm trying to see the relationship between the sample variance equation </p> <p>$\sum(X_i- \bar X)^2/(n-1)$ and the variance estimate, $\bar X(1-\bar X),$ in case of binary samples. </p> <p>I wonder if the outputs are the same, or if not, what is the relationship between the two??</p> <p>I'm trying to prove their...

<p>The first quantity is the standard variance estimator that is unbiased for i.i.d samples from any distribution.</p> <p>The second quantity is a simplified formula (the simplification being valid only for 0-1 binary data) for calculating exactly, not estimating, the variance of the sample.</p> <p>Using the second i...
