Abstract
We usually use $S^2=\frac{{\Sigma}^n_{i=1}(X_i-\={X})^2}{n-1}$ as sample variance. Korean high school text-books use $S^2_n=\frac{{\Sigma}^n_{i=1}(X_i-\={X})^2}{n}$as sample variance. We can compare the above two definitions of sample variance through their theoretical relationship and simulation.
