Expectation for a $chi^2_n$ distributed random variable.
$begingroup$
Consider $X_1,ldots, X_nsimmathcal{N}(mu,sigma^2)$ iid, where $mu$, $sigma^2$ are unknown and $c>0$. Define
$$S_n^2:=sum_{k=1}^nBig(X_k-frac{1}{n}sum_{i=1}^nX_iBig)^2$$
Now I want to calculate
$$E[cS_n^2-sigma^2]$$
Actually I was reading that $S_n^2$ might be $chi_n^2$-distributed, but I do not know why. So does someone has a hint on this problem?
Thanks in advance!

Any source explaining the Bonferroni correction will prove $ES_n^2=(n-1)sigma^2$, which is enough for your purposes.

I was able to show it by simple calculation. Thanks for your comment!

Any source explaining the Bonferroni correction will prove $ES_n^2=(n-1)sigma^2$, which is enough for your purposes.
