Can two normally distributed samples have the same mean and
standard deviation but different sums of squares? Why or why not?
PLEASE EXPLAIN IN SIMPLEST TERMS POSSIBLE. I know the answer is yes
as I've asked it twice already but I have not understood either
response, but I'm not sure WHY. (Very beginner stats level here so
please take that into consideration when explaining, thank
you!)
