High Water Content Fruits. Watermelon and strawberries contain about 92 percent water per volume. Other fruits with high water content include grapefruit with 91 percent, cantaloupe with 90 percent and peaches with 88 percent water. Fruits containing 87 percent water by weight include pineapple, cranberries, orange and raspberries.
The sample variance sÂ² is the best point estimate (or single value estimate) of the population variance ÏÂ². The sample standard deviation s is commonly used as a point estimate of Ï ( even though it is a biased estimator). (Sec 6-4 showed that sÂ² is an unbiased estimator of ÏÂ², but s is a biased estimator of Ï.)
A variance value of zero indicates that all values within a set of numbers are identical; all variances that are non-zero will be positive numbers. A large variance indicates that numbers in the set are far from the mean and each other, while a small variance indicates the opposite.ariance is calculated by taking the differences between each number in the set and the mean, squaring the differences (to make them positive) and dividing the sum of the squares by the number of values in the set.
