Show that the mean of a random sample of size n is a minimum variance unbiased estimator of the parameter (lambda) of a Poisson population.
1. Select all true statements about sample mean and sample median. A) When the population distribution is skewed, sample mean is biased but sample median is an unbiased estimator of population mean. B) When the population distribution is symmetric, both mean and sample median are unbiased estimators of population mean. C) Sampling distribution of sample mean has a smaller standard error than sample median when population distribution is normal. D) Both mean and median are unbiased estimators of population mean...
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 finite variance σ 2 , we first 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...

10.2 For the sample in problem 10.1, consider another estimator of u (call it ê) that is defined as follows: ( 10.1 Suppose that we have a simple random sample of size 3 from a population with mean w. Our estimator of u is ê, defined as follows: When sampling from a nonnormal population, there may be unbiased es- timators of u that are more efficient than X. These estimators, however, would be nonlinear functions of the Xi's; that is,...

x, and S1 are the sample mean and sample variance from a population with mean μ| and variance ơf. Similarly, X2 and S1 are the sample mean and sample variance from a second population with mean μ and variance σ2. Assume that these two populations are independent, and the sample sizes from each population are n,and n2, respectively. (a) Show that X1-X2 is an unbiased estimator of μ1-μ2. (b) Find the standard error of X, -X. How could you estimate...
