Let X be a random variable with cdf FX (x:0), expected value EIX-μ and variance VlX- σ2. Let X1,X2, , Xn be an id sample drawn according to FX(x,8) where Fx (x,8) =万 for all x E (0,0). Let max(X1, X2, , X.) be an estimator of θ, suggested from pure common sense. Remember that if Y = max(X1, X2, , Xn). Then it can be shown that the cdf Fy () of Y is given by Fr(u) (Fx()" where...
Please give detailed steps. Thank you. 5. Let {X1, X2,..., Xn) denote a random sample of size N from a population d escribed by a random variable X. Let's denote the population mean of X by E(X) - u and its variance by Consider the following four estimators of the population mean μ : 3 (this is an example of an average using only part of the sample the last 3 observations) (this is an example of a weighted average)...

Estimator properties: 6 Estimators properties 6.1 Exercise 1 In order to estimate the average number of hours that children spend watching tv, a Bernoulli sample of size n = 5 children was selected from a primary school. Let X be the variable that represents the hours spent watching tv, let E(X)-μ the parameter to estimate and var(X-σ2 the variance. Compare the following two proposed estimators Τι 1. Compare the two estimators for u on the basis of their bias 2....
