Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is

The reading on a voltage meter connected to a test circuit is uniformly distributed over the interval (θ, θ + 1), where θ is the true but unknown voltage of the circuit. Suppose that Y1,Y2,...,Yn denotearandomsampleofsuchreadings.Let Y be the sample mean. a) Show that Y is a biased estimator of θ and compute the bias. b Find a function of Y that is an unbiased estimator of θ.

Recall that an unbiased estimator Y of a parameter \theta is  a function of a random sample for which we have that

E[Y] = \theta. When this is not the case, the quantity E[Y]-\theta is called the biased of the estimator.

Recall that for each i, Y_i is uniformly distributed on the interval (\theta,\theta+1), then E[Y_i] = \frac{\theta + \theta +1 }{2} = \theta + \frac{1}{2}.

Then, using the linear property of the expeted value, we have that

E[Y] = E[\frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^{n} Y_i] = \frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^{n} E[Y_i] = \frac{n (\theta+0.5)}{n} = \theta + 0.5

So, Y is a biased estimator of [tex]\theta [/tex} and the bias is 0.5.

b) We can easily obtain an unbiased estimator of theta by simply substracting the bias to the biased estimator, that is Y-0.5 is an unbiased estimator of the parameter theta.

Step-by-step explanation:

Whatever number is in the interval, for instance, g(-4), is the x value on the graph. From then on, located the value on the graph and go either up or down (depending on the line) in order to get your answer.

A Triangle has an area of 36cm^2. The base and height are scaled by a factor of 5. What is the area of the resulting triangle?
Finger [1]

Answer:

Area of resulting triangle  will be 900 cm^2.

Step-by-step explanation:

When sides of  any polygon if scaled by a factor of k

then area is scaled by k^2

According to the above statement

therefore  here in the question since area of original triangle was 36cm^2

and both  base and height are scaled by a factor of 5.

therefore area of scaled triangle will be 5^2 times of the original

that is 25 x 36 which gives 900 cm^2

So area of resulting triangle will be 900 cm^2
