Challenge: Checking Bias of An Estimation Using Simulation

In the last chapter, we covered the concepts of sample variance and adjusted sample variance. Now let's see how with the help of simulation, we can determine that the first estimation is biased and the second is unbiased.

We will use the Gaussian population: we will build an estimate of the sample variance and the adjusted sample variance on different subsets of the population. Next, using the law of large numbers, we will estimate the mean of the sample variance and the adjusted sample variance and compare it with the real variance of the population.

Your task is to perform simulations to obtain the value of the sample variance, and the adjusted sample variance for 2000 different subsets of the population and compare the mean of the sample variance and the adjusted sample variance with the real value of the population mean:

Use ddof=0 as an argument of np.var() method to calculate sample variance.
Use ddof=1 as an argument of np.var() method to calculate the adjusted sample variance.
Use .mean() method to estimate the expectation of sample variance.
