10.7 and 10.16 please Problem 10.7] Show that t is a biased estimator of the binomial parameter θ. Is this estimator asymptotically unbiased? Problem 10.16 If Θί and Θ2 are independent unbiased estimators of a given parameter θ and Var(01) 3.Var(2), find the constants a1 and a2 such that a1 a22 is an unbiased estimator with minimum variance for such a linear combination.
3. You have two independent random samples: XiXX from a population with mean In and variance σ2 and Y, Y2, , , , , Y,n from a population with mean μ2 and variance σ2. Note that the two populations share a common variance. The two sample variances are Si for the first sample and Si for the second. We know that each of these is an unbiased estimator of the common population variance σ2, we also know that both of...
A. We wish to etima the anea a R of a rectangular po of lan, with length μ1 and width Ha. We measure the length and the width twice. There are two natural ways to estimate the unknown constant a. We can either multiply the average width and length, or we can take the average of the two estimated areas. Suppose the measurements are outcomes of independent random variables Xi, X2 ~ Nga, σ*) and Y1-Y2 ~ N412, σ2 )....

3. (5 marks) Let U be a random variable which has the continuous uniform distribution on the interval I-1, 1]. Recall that this means the density function fu satisfies for(z-a: a.crwise. 1 u(z), -1ss1, a) Find thc cxpccted valuc and the variancc of U. We now consider estimators for the expected value of U which use a sample of size 2 Let Xi and X2 be independent random variables with the same distribution as U. Let X = (X1 +...
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....

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. True False The p-value equals alpha, the level of significance of the hypothesis test. True False THE NEXT QUESTIONS ARE BASED ON THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION: Let X1, X2, X3, and X4 be a random sample of observations from a population with...
