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}

Solve |12x + 1| = 10<br> (9/2, 11/2)<br> (-9/2, 9/2)<br> (-112.9/2)
Reil [10]

|12x + 1| = 10

Remove the absolute value term and make two equations:

12x +1 = 10

12x +1 = -10

Now solve for both x values:

12x +1 = 10

Subtract 1 from both sides:

12x = 9

Divide both sides by 12:

x = 9/12

12x +1 = -10

Subtract 1 from both sides:

12x = -11

Divide both sides by 12:

x = -11/12

The answer would be (-11/12, 912)

Joe decides to take his six year old son to the planetarium. The price for the child's ticket is 5.75 dollars less than the pric
mart [117]
To answer this item, we are instructed that the price of the ticket for the children is equal to x. Since, we are also given that this is 5.75 less than the price of tickets for the adults, we may express this as follows,

    x = n - 5.75

n is the price of ticket for the adults. This can be calculated by transposing 5.75 to the other side of the equation,

   n = x + 5.75

The answer is the third choice.
