ALTERNATIVE EXPRESSION FOR POPULATION VARIANCE 1 This sequence derives an alternative expression for the population variance of a random variable. It provides an opportunity for practising the use of the expected value rules.

2 We start with the definition of the population variance of X. ALTERNATIVE EXPRESSION FOR POPULATION VARIANCE

3 We expand the quadratic. ALTERNATIVE EXPRESSION FOR POPULATION VARIANCE

4 Now the first expected value rule is used to decompose the expression into three separate expected values. ALTERNATIVE EXPRESSION FOR POPULATION VARIANCE

5 The second expected value rule is used to simplify the middle term and the third rule is used to simplify the last one. ALTERNATIVE EXPRESSION FOR POPULATION VARIANCE

6 The middle term is rewritten, using the fact that E(X) and  X are just different ways of writing the population mean of X. ALTERNATIVE EXPRESSION FOR POPULATION VARIANCE

Hence we get the result. 7 ALTERNATIVE EXPRESSION FOR POPULATION VARIANCE
