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}

(NO LINKS) HELP ASAP! THIS IS DUE TODAY! ILL GIVE BRAINLIEST TO DECENT ANSWER AND 20+ POINTS!
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

Part A: a histogram

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A:

A histogram would be the best to use since they gave values that are x - y, or a ranged amount for the score.

Part B:

You would set up each value for the scores on the bottom. You would make the number of students on the left in increments of 1 (1,2,3,4,5 etc. )

You would make the first value ( 0-4 ) go up to 4 students.  The second value ( 5-9) would go to 5. The third value ( 10-14 ) would go to 2. The fourth and fifth values ( 15-19 and 20-24 ) would go to 3.

I wouldn't put it on Brainly. I would read the book and work it out by myself instead. That way, if I was lucky, I might learn something.
