R2.23: Which distribution listed below is formed by the distribution of sample variances:
A. Chi-Square
B. Student t
C. F
D. Exponential
Here Exponential distribution is not a sampling distribution. so we can remove the option.
Chi-Square distribution is formed by taking sum of squares of independent normal random variables. so it is wrong option
Students t is formed by ratio of independent normal and chi-square random variables. So this option is also wrong
F is formed by taking ratio of two independent chi- square random variables. we know the sample variance from normal distribution follows chi-square distribution. So we can say F is formed by taking ratio of sample variances. So the correct answer is option C, F-distribution
