Glet x1, x2, . . , xn be a random sample from any distribution with mean µ and variance σ 2 . since σ 2 = v ar[x1] = e[(x − µ) 2 ], it makes sense to estimate this probability weighted average with a similar sample average such as σc2 : = xn i=1 (xi − x) 2 n . (a) show that this is a biased estimator of σ 2 . what is the bias? (b) adjust your estimator from part (a) to make it an unbiased estimator. your result will be known as the sample variance and will be denoted by s 2 . (note: some people use the more intuitive biased estimator given here as their definition of the sample variance and also denote it with s 2 . more people use the unbiased estimator you will be finding here. those are the cool people! )

Use the spider tool located on page 1 of this activity to draw a 12-pointed star for the new logo. (hint: if the spider rotates 360 degrees -- or 720 degrees or 1080 degrees -- she will be facing in the same direction in which she started. when the spider is done drawing, you want her to be facing in the same direction in which she started. she'll be making 12 rotations, all the same size, so each rotation must be some multiple of 360/12 = 30 degrees.) urgently. been stuck on this problem for around 45 minutes now.! it should be easy if you're smart enough
