7.Let X1, X2, X3, and X4 be a random sample of observations from a population with mean μ and variance σ2. Consider the following estimator of μ:⊝1 = 0.15 X1 + 0.35 X2 + 0.20 X3 + 0.30 X4. Is this a biased estimator for the mean? What is the variance of the estimator? Can you find a more efficient estimator?
Let X1, X2, ..., Xn denote a random sample of size n from a population whose density fucntion is given by 383x-4 f S x f(x) = 0 elsewhere where ß > 0 is unknown. Consider the estimator ß = min(X1, X2, ...,Xn). Derive the bias of the estimator ß.
Let X1, X2, ..., Xn be a random sample of size n from a population that can be modeled by the following probability model: axa-1 fx(x) = 0 < x < 0, a > 0 θα a) Find the probability density function of X(n) max(X1,X2, ...,Xn). b) Is X(n) an unbiased estimator for e? If not, suggest a function of X(n) that is an unbiased estimator for e.
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)...

Suppose you have a random sample {X1, X2, X3} of size n = 3. Consider the following three possible estimators for the population mean u and variance o2 Дi 3D (X1+ X2+ X3)/3 Ti2X1/4 X2/2 X3/4 Дз — (Х+ X,+ X3)/4 (a) What is the bias associated with each estimator? (b) What is the variance associated with each estimator? (c) Does the fact that Var(i3) < Var(1) contradict the statement that X is the minimum variance unbiased estimator? Why or...
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 X4 Which of the following statements is true?
