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)

Part 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.

Part 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}

What is the equation for the line of reflection? On a coordinate plane, triangle A B C has points (6, 3.7), (5.4, 2), (1, 3). Tr
elixir [45]

Answer:

The equation for the line of reflection will be x = y.

Step-by-step explanation:

On a coordinate plane, triangle Δ ABC has points (6, 3.7), (5.4, 2), (1, 3). Triangle Δ A'B'C' has points (3.7, 6), (2, 5.4), (3, 1).

And we have to find the equation of the line of reflection of the points.

Now, it is clear from the coordinates of vertices of Δ ABC and Δ A'B'C' that after reflection the x and y-values of the respective coordinates interchange and there is no change in signs.

Therefore, the equation for the line of reflection will be x = y. (Answer)

ANSWER ASAP PLEASE BEING TIMEDDDDDDDD
Reil [10]
The answer is 8 + x > 5
An equation or an inequality that contains at least one variable is called an open sentence.
When you substitute the variable in an open sentence with a number the resulting statement is either true or false. If the statement is true the number is a solution to the equation or inequality.

Hope this helps you !!

The circumference of a standard bowling ball is about 27 in. To the nearest unit, how many square inches is the surface area of
Sidana [21]
The surface area of a sphere is S=4 \pi  r^{2} where r is the radius;
The circumference is 2 \pi r=27 in so that r= \frac{27}{2 \pi }=4.5 in using this value we can evaluate the surface area of 1 ball as:
S=4 \pi r^{2} =4 \pi  (4.5)^{2} =254.3  in^{2}
For 100 ball you get: 100*254.3=25430  in^{2}
