Let X1, ..., X, bei.i.d. random variable with pdf fe defined as follows: fo (2) = 0x0-11(0<x< 1) where 0 is some positive number. Using the MLE Ô, find the shortest confidence interval for 6 with asymptotic level 85% using the plug-in method. To avoid double jeopardy, you may use V for the appropriate estimator of the asymptotic variance V (Ô), and/or I for the Fisher information I (Ô) evaluated at ê, or you may enter your answer without using...
