7.Let X1, X2, X3, and X4 be a random sample of observations from a population with mean μ and variance σ2. Consider the following estimator of μ:⊝1 = 0.15 X1 + 0.35 X2 + 0.20 X3 + 0.30 X4. Is this a biased estimator for the mean? What is the variance of the estimator? Can you find a more efficient estimator?

Let X1, X2,
X3, and X4 be a random
sample of observations from a population with mean μ and
variance σ2. The observations are independent because
they were randomly drawn. Consider the following two point
estimators of the population mean μ:
1 = 0.10 X1 + 0.40
X2 + 0.40 X3 + 0.10
X4 and
2 = 0.20 X1 + 0.30

If a null hypothesis is rejected at a significance level of 1%,
then we should say that it was rejected at 1%. Reporting that the
null was also rejected at the 5% level of significance is
unnecessary and unwise.
