(minor comments)

The X's (often carrying subscripts: X_i)
are random variables, (variables aléatoires). The French
doesn't mention this, so there's no
reason the English should.

You have the sum of the squares of the X's (might look better with subscripts and no plural: "the X_i" if the context calls for it)
