The authors present some straightforward statistical applications of the following lemma: Let \(x_ 1,\dots,x_ n\) be real values such that \(\sum^ n_{i=1} x_ i=0\), \(x_{(1)}\leq x_{(2)}\leq\dots\leq x_{(n)}\) be the above values written in the order of their magnitude and denote by \(R\) the difference \(x_{(n)}-x_{(1)}\). Then \[ R^ 2/2\leq\sum_{i=1}^ n x^ 2_{(i)}\leq\begin{cases} nR^ 2/4, \quad &\text{if \(n\) is even}\\ (n^ 2-1)R^ 2/(4n), \quad &\text{if \(n\) is odd}.\end{cases} \] This inequality is used for estimating some sample statistics (studentized range, maximum value) and for rediscovering some relations in ANOVA techniques.
