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 theorem can you use to prove that angle GKJ is congruent angle HIK?
dmitriy555 [2]

Angle Side Angle Theorem (ASA)

The Angle Side Angle Postulate (ASA) says triangles are congruent if any two angles and their included side are equal in the triangles. An included side is the side between two angles.

A parallelogram has coordinates A(1, 1), B(5, 4), C(7, 1), and D(3, -2). What are the coordinates of parallelogram A′B′C′D′ afte
saul85 [17]

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

First, we need to rotate our points 180° about the origin. To find the coordinates after such a rotation, we simply find the negative version of each number in the ordered pair, which can be written as (x,y)⇒(-x,-y).

Let's convert this below

A: (1,1)⇒(-1,-1)

B: (5,4)⇒(-5,-4)

C: (7,1)⇒(-7,-1)

D: (3,-2)⇒(-3,2)

Now, we need to translate these new points five units to the right and one unit down. This means we will add 5 to our x-value and subtract 1 from our y-value. This will look like (x,y)⇒(x+5,y-1). Let's do this below.

A: (-1,-1)⇒(4,-2)

B: (-5,-4)⇒(0,-5)

C: (-7,-1)⇒(-2,-2)

D: (-3,2)⇒(2,1)

Therefore, this new parallelogram has coordinates of A'(4,-2), B'(0,-5), C'(-2,-2), and D'(2,1)

Now you know how to find the coordinates of translated figures! Have a wonderful day! :D

(b) factorise <br>(3m-1)(6-a)-(m+3)(6-a)​
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(3m-1)(6-a)-(m+3)(6-a)

=3m(6-a)-1(6-a)-m(6-a)+3(6-a)

=18m-3ma-6+a-6m+ma+18-3a

=12m-2ma+12-2a

=2(6m-ma+6-a)
