Let Y1, Y2,...Y5 be a random sample of size 5 from a normal population with mean 0 and variance 1.

What is the distribution of ΣYi^2? (Σ, i=1 to 5)
Chi-sq? t? or F? What is its d.f.? Why?

✔ 最佳答案
這個是砌積木問題
若果X服從normal population with mean 0 and variance 1.
則X^2服從χ^2(1)
所以Y1, Y2,...Y5 全部服從χ^2(1)
又若X1服從χ^2(m1),X2服從χ^2(m2)
則X1+X2服從χ^2(m1+m2)
所以 ΣYi^2服從χ^2(5)
