$operatorname{Var}[sum_{i=1}^n (X_i-mu_0)^2]=operatorname{Var}[ sum_{i=1}^n(X_i-overline{X})^2]$?

Consider independent $X_1,ldots, X_nsimmathcal{N}(mu_0,sigma^2)$ with a known $mu_0inmathbb{R}$ and unknown $sigma^2in(0,infty)$. I already know that



$$DeclareMathOperator{Var}{Var}frac{1}{n}sum_{i=1}^n (X_i-mu_0)^2$$



is variance minimising and that



$$EBig[frac{1}{n}sum_{i=1}^n (X_i-mu_0)^2Big]=EBig[frac{1}{n-1} sum_{i=1}^n(X_i-overline{X})^2Big]=sigma^2$$



What I want to show is that



$$frac{1}{n^2}Var[sum_{i=1}^n (X_i-mu_0)^2]=Var[frac{1}{n}sum_{i=1}^n (X_i-mu_0)^2]<Var[frac{1}{n-1}sum_{i=1}^n(X_i-overline{X})^2]=frac{1}{(n-1)^2}Var[sum_{i=1}^n(X_i-overline{X})^2]$$



Since the first moments are the same it would be enough, to know, that



$$EBig[Big(sum_{i=1}^n (X_i-mu_0)^2Big)^2Big]=EBig[Big(sum_{i=1}^n(X_i-overline{X})^2Big)^2Big]$$



Is this true? There might be an easy argument, but I do not find it.



Thanks in advance!

          2 2 I have a Zotero bibliography in Overleaf. I use biblatex . usepackage[backend=biber,citestyle=authoryear]{biblatex} addbibresource{zoteroALH.bib} Bibliography entries look like: @book{de_saint-gervais_uniformization_2016, title = {Uniformization of {Riemann} {Surfaces}}, isbn = {978-3-03719-145-3}, url = {https://www.ems-ph.org/books/book.php?proj_nr=198&srch=series%7Chem}, urldate = {2019-02-03}, author = {de Saint-Gervais, Paul Henri}, year = {2016}, doi = {10.4171/145} } In the bibliography down the paper the reference shows like this: There is the DOI, great, but also the URL which is unnecessary when the DOI is there.

          ComboBox Display Member on multiple fields

          Image
          2 I'm trying to set the .DisplayMember property of a ComboBox in C#, but I want to bind it to multiple columns in the .DataSouce .

          Is it possible to collect Nectar points via Trainline?

          Image
          2 Since I am not eligible for any Railcard, the only available discount/bonus scheme is Nectar Card for me. GWR, SWR, LNER and Virgin Trains allow to collect Nectar points and I have already linked a card to my GWR account. A friend suggested me to use Trainline App, because it can search for bus tickets either. I had a look at the application, but could not see any option for Nectar. Is there a way to collect Nectar points when I buy tickets via Trainline? uk trains loyalty-programs trainline share | improve this question asked Dec 2 '18 at 15:50 ahmedus 3,224 5 19 49
