A simple random sample of n = 4 respondents yields measurements y = (20, 30, 40, 50) with sample mean yˉ=35\bar{y} = 35. Using jackknife variance estimation, the researcher deletes each observation and recalculates: yˉ(1)=40\bar{y}_{(-1)} = 40, yˉ(2)=36.67\bar{y}_{(-2)} = 36.67, yˉ(3)=33.33\bar{y}_{(-3)} = 33.33, yˉ(4)=30\bar{y}_{(-4)} = 30. The jackknife variance is computed as: VJack=n1ni=1n(yˉ(i)yˉ)2V_{Jack} = \frac{n-1}{n} \sum_{i=1}^n (\bar{y}_{(-i)} - \bar{y})^2

What is the jackknife variance estimate?
