The difference between a number divided by 3 and 4 is 20.
Alexxandr [17]
Let, the number be "a"

Now, according to the question,
\frac{a}{3} - 4=20

\frac{a-12}{3} =20

a-12 =20*3

a-12=60

a = 60 + 12

a = 72


So, the number is 72

Answer:

(m? - 5 m +6 )  ÷ (m - 2)​ = \frac{m}{-5m+6} / (m - 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide the first expression by the second expression.

\frac{m}{-5m+6} / (m - 2)

I hope this helps.

Let X1 and X2 be independent random variables with mean μand variance σ².
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

a) E(\hat \theta_1) =\frac{1}{2} [E(X_1) +E(X_2)]= \frac{1}{2} [\mu + \mu] = \mu

So then we conclude that \hat \theta_1 is an unbiased estimator of \mu

E(\hat \theta_2) =\frac{1}{4} [E(X_1) +3E(X_2)]= \frac{1}{4} [\mu + 3\mu] = \mu

So then we conclude that \hat \theta_2 is an unbiased estimator of \mu

b) Var(\hat \theta_1) =\frac{1}{4} [\sigma^2 + \sigma^2 ] =\frac{\sigma^2}{2}

Var(\hat \theta_2) =\frac{1}{16} [\sigma^2 + 9\sigma^2 ] =\frac{5\sigma^2}{8}

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we know that we have two random variables:

X_1 , X_2 both with mean \mu = \mu and variance \sigma^2

And we define the following estimators:

\hat \theta_1 = \frac{X_1 + X_2}{2}

\hat \theta_2 = \frac{X_1 + 3X_2}{4}

Part a

In order to see if both estimators are unbiased we need to proof if the expected value of the estimators are equal to the real value of the parameter:

E(\hat \theta_i) = \mu , i = 1,2

So let's find the expected values for each estimator:

E(\hat \theta_1) = E(\frac{X_1 +X_2}{2})

Using properties of expected value we have this:

E(\hat \theta_1) =\frac{1}{2} [E(X_1) +E(X_2)]= \frac{1}{2} [\mu + \mu] = \mu

So then we conclude that \hat \theta_1 is an unbiased estimator of \mu

For the second estimator we have:

E(\hat \theta_2) = E(\frac{X_1 + 3X_2}{4})

Using properties of expected value we have this:

E(\hat \theta_2) =\frac{1}{4} [E(X_1) +3E(X_2)]= \frac{1}{4} [\mu + 3\mu] = \mu

So then we conclude that \hat \theta_2 is an unbiased estimator of \mu

Part b

For the variance we need to remember this property: If a is a constant and X a random variable then:

Var(aX) = a^2 Var(X)

For the first estimator we have:

Var(\hat \theta_1) = Var(\frac{X_1 +X_2}{2})

Var(\hat \theta_1) =\frac{1}{4} Var(X_1 +X_2)=\frac{1}{4} [Var(X_1) + Var(X_2) + 2 Cov (X_1 , X_2)]

Since both random variables are independent we know that Cov(X_1, X_2 ) = 0 so then we have:

Var(\hat \theta_1) =\frac{1}{4} [\sigma^2 + \sigma^2 ] =\frac{\sigma^2}{2}

For the second estimator we have:

Var(\hat \theta_2) = Var(\frac{X_1 +3X_2}{4})

Var(\hat \theta_2) =\frac{1}{16} Var(X_1 +3X_2)=\frac{1}{4} [Var(X_1) + Var(3X_2) + 2 Cov (X_1 , 3X_2)]

Since both random variables are independent we know that Cov(X_1, X_2 ) = 0 so then we have:

Var(\hat \theta_2) =\frac{1}{16} [\sigma^2 + 9\sigma^2 ] =\frac{5\sigma^2}{8}
