Multi-part question:
Let X1, .... ,Xn be random variables that describe the monthly
salary (in thousands of dollars) that
people in San Francisco receive. By law, there is a minimum monthly
salary that people should receive
and it is unknown. Denote this minimum salary θ.
A) What is the statistical model?
B) Assume that the random variables that describe the monthly income have the following p.d.f.
fx(X|θ) = 2*((θ)^2)*((x)^-3) θ > 0, and θ ≤ x < ∞
Show that E(X) = 2θ (do this using the definition of
expectation) and find the moment estimator
of the minimum salary, θ.
C) Under the assumptions in (B), plot the likelihood function
and find the maximum likelihood
estimator of the minimum salary, θ.
D) Ten random citizens from San Francisco were chosen and its
monthly salary was recorded. The
monthly salaries (in thousand of dollars) of these citizens are
2.3, 4.1, 2.2, 3.8, 5.3,
6.8, 2.9, 4.8, 8.0. Compute the moment estimate and the maximum
likelihood estimate.
