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.

Question 1 (understanding unbiasedness and efficiency) Consider height of adult males. It is a randon variable with mean μ and variance σ2. Our goal is to find the best estimator for μ from a sample of 5 observations {hi,h2,h3,h4,hs). We assume that these observations are randomly selected. The following estimators for μ have been proposed 1.訟リーthe average of the second and fourth observations; 2.

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...
