Mathematics

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you need to find the factor that coverts 8 to 72. I look as these problems as 3 to x and 8 to 72. To do this, divide 72 by 8, and that's what you'd multiply 3 with.

72/8 = 9

9 x 3 = 27

How to tell if an equation is linear or nonlinear?

gogolik [260]

A linear equation will contain a term in x has the highest degree. For example y = 2x - 5 . A non linear will contain terms with exponents 2 or higher
eg x^2 - 2x - 5 is nonlinear.

Translate the phrase into an algebraic expression.

adell [148]

Answer:

8 + $\frac{5}{w}$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the phrase, the <em>answer</em> is smaller(less) by 8 when compared(equal (=)) to quotient of 5 and w ...

So:

Answer - 8 = quotient of 5 and w

Here, quotient is the whole number from a <em>division</em>. The division here is $\frac{5}{w}$

Therefore,

Answer - 8 = $\frac{5}{w}$

Answer = 8 + $\frac{5}{w}$

Hence the phrase into algebraic expression is 8 + $\frac{5}{w}$

Let $$X_1, X_2, ...X_n$$ be uniformly distributed on the interval 0 to a. Recall that the maximum likelihood estimator of a is $

Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

a) $\hat a = max(X_i)$

For this case the value for $\hat a$ is always smaller than the value of a, assuming $X_i \sim Unif[0,a]$ So then for this case it cannot be unbiased because an unbiased estimator satisfy this property:

$E(a) - a= 0$ and that's not our case.

b) $E(\hat a) - a= \frac{na}{n+1} - a = \frac{na -an -a}{n+1}= \frac{-a}{n+1}$

Since is a negative value we can conclude that underestimate the real value a.

$\lim_{ n \to\infty} -\frac{1}{n+1}= 0$

c) $P(Y \leq y) = P(max(X_i) \leq y) = P(X_1 \leq y, X_2 \leq y, ..., X_n\leq y)$

And assuming independence we have this:

$P(Y \leq y) = P(X_1 \leq y) P(X_2 \leq y) .... P(X_n \leq y) = [P(X_1 \leq y)]^n = (\frac{y}{a})^n$

$f_Y (Y) = n (\frac{y}{a})^{n-1} * \frac{1}{a}= \frac{n}{a^n} y^{n-1} , y \in [0,a]$

e) On this case we see that the estimator $\hat a_1$ is better than $\hat a_2$ and the reason why is because:

$V(\hat a_1) > V(\hat a_2)$

$\frac{a^2}{3n}> \frac{a^2}{n(n+2)}$

$n(n+2) = n^2 + 2n > n +2n = 3n$ and that's satisfied for n>1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a

For this case we are assuming $X_1, X_2 , ..., X_n \sim U(0,a)$

And we are are ssuming the following estimator:

$\hat a = max(X_i)$

$E(a) - a= 0$ and that's not our case.

Part b

For this case we assume that the estimator is given by:

$E(\hat a) = \frac{na}{n+1}$

And using the definition of bias we have this:

$E(\hat a) - a= \frac{na}{n+1} - a = \frac{na -an -a}{n+1}= \frac{-a}{n+1}$

Since is a negative value we can conclude that underestimate the real value a.

And when we take the limit when n tend to infinity we got that the bias tend to 0.

$\lim_{ n \to\infty} -\frac{1}{n+1}= 0$

Part c

For this case we the followng random variable $Y = max (X_i)$ and we can find the cumulative distribution function like this:

$P(Y \leq y) = P(max(X_i) \leq y) = P(X_1 \leq y, X_2 \leq y, ..., X_n\leq y)$

And assuming independence we have this:

$P(Y \leq y) = P(X_1 \leq y) P(X_2 \leq y) .... P(X_n \leq y) = [P(X_1 \leq y)]^n = (\frac{y}{a})^n$

Since all the random variables have the same distribution.

Now we can find the density function derivating the distribution function like this:

$f_Y (Y) = n (\frac{y}{a})^{n-1} * \frac{1}{a}= \frac{n}{a^n} y^{n-1} , y \in [0,a]$

Now we can find the expected value for the random variable Y and we got this:

$E(Y) = \int_{0}^a \frac{n}{a^n} y^n dy = \frac{n}{a^n} \frac{a^{n+1}}{n+1}= \frac{an}{n+1}$

And the bias is given by:

$E(Y)-a=\frac{an}{n+1} -a=\frac{an-an-a}{n+1}= -\frac{a}{n+1}$

And again since the bias is not 0 we have a biased estimator.

Part e

For this case we have two estimators with the following variances:

$V(\hat a_1) = \frac{a^2}{3n}$

$V(\hat a_2) = \frac{a^2}{n(n+2)}$

On this case we see that the estimator $\hat a_1$ is better than $\hat a_2$ and the reason why is because:

$V(\hat a_1) > V(\hat a_2)$

$\frac{a^2}{3n}> \frac{a^2}{n(n+2)}$

$n(n+2) = n^2 + 2n > n +2n = 3n$ and that's satisfied for n>1.
