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.)
Note carefully that the sample statistic s is not an unbiased statistic. That is, the mean of the s column in the table (1.257079) is not equal to the population parameter s = 1.632993. Also, if you use the s formula for samples, the resulting statistics are not unbiased estimates for a population parameter.
