Question

To show that an estimator can be consistent without being unbiased or even asymptotically the finite variance σ, we first take a random sample of size n. Then we randomly draw one of n slips of paper numbered from 1 through n, and if the number we draw is 2, 3,.., or n, we use as our estimator the mean of the random sample; otherwise, we use the estimate n2. Show that this estimation procedure is (a) consistent; (b) neither unbiased nor asymptotically unbiased.
