The regression of the variance, [sigma]2, on the mean in samples from a population with any distribution is adequately represented by a 2nd order parabola. A method of testing whether a sample is likely to be from a population of known distribution is derived. One must be very cautious in drawing conclusions from Student''s test, if there be no good reason for supposing that the original frequency distribution is normal..
