Answer #1

Option 2nd is the right option

For example let x follow normal(u,sig^2)

And xbar = (x1+x2....+xn)/n is a estimator which is unbiased

So first option is not correct Because sample mean can not always be equals to parameters because it is based on random observation

Now 2nd option is correct

Because E(xbar) = u this imply xbar is unbiased ,again

Var(xbar) = sig^2/n which is not equal to variance and also we can't calculate variance of a parameter

So only option 2 is right option
