Suppose a population A has 100 observations 101, 102,……200 and another population B has 100 observation 151, 152….., 250. If VA,VB represent the variances of the two populations respectively, then VAVB is
Population B observations are 151, 152, ….., 250
Let y, be these observations
Shifting the origin zi=yi−50
The values of these observations are 100, 101, ….., 200.
∴VA=VB
( ∵ Variance is independent of shifting the origin).
