unbiased estimator
If X1,X2, . . . ,Xn constitute a random sample from a
population with the mean μ, what condition must be
imposed on the constants a1, a2, . . . , an so that
a1X1 +a2X2 + · · · + anXn
is an unbiased estimator of μ?
Homework Answers
Let 
is a random sample from a population with mean 
and 
Here, we need to identify a condition that imposes on the constants 
so that 
is an unbiased estimator of
.
To show that a statistic 
is unbiased estimator of the parameter
, we need to show that
.
Now, let us consider
From (a), if we want 
is an unbiased estimator of
, we should have the condition that 
By substituting the value in (a) we get
Hence, 
is an unbiased estimator of
if sum of all constant value is equal to 1.

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
X2 + 0.30 X3 + 0.20

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.

To show an estimator can be consistent without being unbiased or even asymptotically unbiased, consider the following estimation procedure: To estimate the mean of a population with the nite variance 2, we rst take a random sample of size n. Then, we randomly draw one of n slips of paper numbered from 1 through n, and if the number we draw is 2, 3, , or n, we use as our estimator the mean of the random sample; otherwise, we...
