1. Suppose that X1, X2, ..., Xm, representing yields per hectare for corn variety A, constitute a random sample from a normal distribution with mean My and variance o2. Also, Y., Y2, ..., Y, representing yields per hectare for corn variety B, constitute a random sample from a normal distribution with mean My and variance o?. If the X's and Y's are independent, find the MLE for the common variance 02. Assume that M, and My are unknown. [6]
