Question

A sample with SS = 40 and a variance of 8 has n = 5 scores.​

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This statement cannot be true because SS and variance cannot be known without knowing the actual scores in the sample. Additionally, with a variance of 8 and n = 5 scores, the sum of squares (SS) should be (n-1)*variance = 32, not 40.
