Answer:

a) In order to check if an estimator is unbiased we need to check this condition:

E(\theta) = \mu

And we can find the expected value of each estimator like this:

E(\theta_1 ) = \frac{1}{7} E(X_1 +X_2 +... +X_7) = \frac{1}{7} [E(X_1) +E(X_2) +....+E(X_7)]= \frac{1}{7} 7\mu= \mu

So then we conclude that \theta_1 is unbiased.

For the second estimator we have this:

E(\theta_2) = \frac{1}{2} [2E(X_1) -E(X_3) +E(X_5)]=\frac{1}{2} [2\mu -\mu +\mu] = \frac{1}{2} [2\mu]= \mu

And then we conclude that \theta_2 is unbiaed too.

b) For this case first we need to find the variance of each estimator:

Var(\theta_1) = \frac{1}{49} (Var(X_1) +...+Var(X_7))= \frac{1}{49} (7\sigma^2) = \frac{\sigma^2}{7}

And for the second estimator we have this:

Var(\theta_2) = \frac{1}{4} (4\sigma^2 -\sigma^2 +\sigma^2)= \frac{1}{4} (4\sigma^2)= \sigma^2

And the relative efficiency is given by:

RE= \frac{Var(\theta_1)}{Var(\theta_2)}=\frac{\frac{\sigma^2}{7}}{\sigma^2}= \frac{1}{7}

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we assume that we have a random sample given by: X_1, X_2,....,X_7 and each X_i \sim N (\mu, \sigma)

What is the value of g(−3) when g(x)=2x−2 ?
nikdorinn [45]
For these types of problems, plug the value inside the ( ) into the (x) of the equation.
g (-3), g (x) = 2x-2
g (x) = 2 (-3) - 2 = -6 - 2 = -8
g (-3) = -8

The area of a right triangle is 270 square meters. The height of the right triangle is 15 meters. What is the length of the hypo
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

\sqrt{549} ≈ 23.4

Step-by-step explanation:

A = bh

270 = 15b

b = 18

Now you know the two legs, use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the value of the hypotenuse:  a² + b² = c²

15² + 18² = c²

225 + 324 = c²

c² = 549

c = √549

Line m is parallel to line p. m ∠ HEF = 39º and m ∠ IGF = 13º. Find the m ∠ EFG. Explain in detail how you know you are correct.
svetlana [45]

Answer:

The measure of ∠EFG is 52°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given line m is parallel to line p. m∠HEF = 39º and m∠IGF = 13º.we have to find m∠EFG.

In ΔJFG,

By angle sum property of triangle, which states that sum of all angles of triangle is 180°

m∠FJG+m∠JGF+m∠JFG=180°

⇒ 39°+13°+m∠JFG=180°

⇒ m∠JFG=180°-39°-13°=128°

As JFE is a straight line ∴ ∠JFG and ∠EFG forms linear pair

⇒ m∠JFG+m∠EFG=180°

⇒ 128°+m∠EFG=180°

⇒ m∠EFG=52°

The measure of ∠EFG is 52°
