Answer:

A statistic is said to be unbiased if the mean of its sampling distribution is equal to the true value of the parameter being estimated.

Step-by-step explanation:

A parameter is a number that describes the population.

A statistic is a number that describes a sample.

A statistic used to estimate a parameter is unbiased if the mean of its sampling distribution is exactly equal to the true value of the parameter being estimated. For example, the mean of a sample is an unbiased estimate of the mean of the population from which the sample was drawn.

A statistic is biased if its expected value is not equal to the parameter.

1. (a) Use the integral test to show that P[infinity] n=1 1/n4 converges. (b) Find the 10th partial sum, s10, of the series P[in

scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a) $\int\limits^{\infty} _1 {\frac{1}{n^4} } \, dn\\ =\frac{n^{-3} }{-3}$

Substitute limits to get

= $\frac{1}{3}$

Thus converges.

b) 10th partial sum =

$\int\limits^{10} _1 {\frac{1}{n^4} } \, dn\\ =\frac{n^{-3} }{-3}$

= $\frac{-1}{3} (0.001-1)\\= 0.333$

c) Z [infinity] n+1 1 /x ^4 dx ≤ s − sn ≤ Z [infinity] n 1 /x^ 4 dx, (1)

where s is the sum of P[infinity] n=1 1/n4 and sn is the nth partial sum of P[infinity] n=1 1/n4 .

A segment with endpoints A (2, 1) and C (4, 7) is partitioned by a point B such that AB and BC form a 3:2 ratio. Find B.

$\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{internal division of a line segment} \\\\\\ A(2,1)\qquad C(4,7)\qquad \qquad \stackrel{\textit{ratio from A to C}}{3:2} \\\\\\ \cfrac{A\underline{B}}{\underline{B} C} = \cfrac{3}{2}\implies \cfrac{A}{C} = \cfrac{3}{2}\implies 2A=3C\implies 2(2,1)=3(4,7)\\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ B=\left(\frac{\textit{sum of "x" values}}{\textit{sum of ratios}}\quad ,\quad \frac{\textit{sum of "y" values}}{\textit{sum of ratios}}\right)\\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill$

$\bf B=\left(\cfrac{(2\cdot 2)+(3\cdot 4)}{3+2}\quad ,\quad \cfrac{(2\cdot 1)+(3\cdot 7)}{3+2}\right)\implies B=\left( \cfrac{4+12}{5}~,~\cfrac{2+21}{5} \right) \\\\\\ B=\left(\cfrac{16}{5}~~,~~\cfrac{23}{5} \right)\implies B=\left( 3\frac{1}{5}~~,~~4\frac{3}{5} \right)$
