Homework Statement
Hi all.
Lets say I have two variables yk and xk. I also have two mean values given by:
[tex]
<y_k^2> = \frac{1}{N}\sum_1^N{y_k^2} \quad \text{and} \quad <x_k^4> = \frac{1}{N}\sum_1^N{x_k^4}.
[/tex]
Now I am looking at the expression (<xk4> <yk2>)1/2.
Question: Is it correct that:
[tex]
<y_kx_k^2> = \sqrt{<x_k^4><y_k^2>}.
[/tex]
Personally, I don't think so, because ultimately it would mean that I would have to make two sums into one sum, which I can't.. but I am in doubt.
Thanks in advance.
Niles.
