Maya is said to be m years old now. We are asked what will be her age after four years from now so we just have to add 4 years from her age now. The correct expression to calculate her age should be m+4. This cannot be seen among the choices given above.

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)  

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.

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.
