O: "Solving Chi Square Problems: E(s^2) and Var(s^2) Using MLE

[dim&dimmer]

Homework Statement

$$W = \frac{vS^2}{\sigma^2}$$, distributed as $$X^2_v$$
Find $$E(s^2) and Var(s^2)$$

Homework Equations

$$E(W) = v , Var(w)=2v$$

The Attempt at a Solution

Have been trying to figure this out with no luck. Can I use MLE for variance to show $$Var(s^2)= \sigma^2$$? Really don't know how to get started on this, any pointers would be appreciated.

Remember that for any random variable $$X$$ and constant $$k$$

$$E(kX) = kE(X), \quad Var(kX) = k^2 Var(X)$$

Thank you,
Sheesh, should have posted my question ...days ago, pretty simple really.
