Answer to Question 1

Without some correction, sample variability tends to be smaller than the population variability. Whenever a statistic consistently underestimates (or overestimates) the corresponding population parameter, the statistic is said to be biased. The bias in sample variability is corrected by dividing the sum of squared deviations (SS) by n  1 (instead of n) in the formula for sample variance.

Answer to Question 2

SS = 3, 2 = 1, and  = 1
