medium · FRM Part 1 Quantitative Analysis
For a very large sample (n > 1000), an analyst finds that the sample variance s^2 is 1.1 times the hypothesized variance σ_0^2. Even though the difference is small, the Chi-square test rejects the null hypothesis. Why?
- Because variance tests are not reliable for large samples.
- Because the Chi-square distribution mean decreases with n.
- Because 1.1 is always a significant ratio.
- Because the test becomes highly powerful with a large sample size, detecting even small deviations.
