Exercise 4.9, Book 1: MSE formulas for the two variance estimators are swapped #730

Description

@Microf5

The final line pairs the MSE expressions with the wrong estimators. As printed:

MSE(σ²_unb) = (2N−1)/N² · σ⁴ and MSE(σ²_mle) = 2/(N−1) · σ⁴

The correct pairing is the reverse:

MSE(σ²_unb) = 2/(N−1) · σ⁴
MSE(σ²_mle) = (2N−1)/N² · σ⁴
