Suppose ˆθ1 and ˆθ2 are two unbiased estimators for θ. (i) Is ˆθ3 = θˆ 1+θˆ 2 2 unbiased? (ii) Suppose V ar( ˆθ1) = V ar( ˆθ2) and that Cov( ˆθ1, ˆθ2) = 0 . Then is ˆθ3 more efficient than ˆθ1 and ˆθ2? (iii) Suppose that Cov( ˆθ1, ˆθ2) = 0 but V ar( ˆθ1) < V ar( ˆθ2). Intuitively, when is ˆθ3 less efficient than ˆθ1?

Suppose X1, X2, . . . , Xn are a random sample from a Uniform(0, θ) distribution, where θ > 0. Consider two different estimators of θ: R1 = 2X¯ R2 =(n + 1)/n max(X1, . . . , Xn) (a) For each of the estimators R1 and R2, assess whether it is an unbiased estimator of θ. (b) Compute the variances of R1 and R2. Under what conditions will R2 have a smaller variance than R1?
