Suppose a certain type of fertilizer has an expected yield per acre of mu 1 with variance sigma 2, whereas the expected yield fo

r a second type of fertilizer is mu 2 with the same variance sigma 2. Let S1^2 and S2^2 denote the sample variances of yields based on sample sizes n1 and n2, respectively, of the two fertilizers. Show that the pooled (combined) estimator Cap sigma 2 = (n1 - 1)S1^2 + (n2 - 1)S2^2/n1 + n2 - 2 is an unbiased estimator of sigma 2.

Answer:

See the proof below.

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we just need to apply properties of expected value. We know that the estimator is given by:

S^2_p= \frac{(n_1 -1) S^2_1 +(n_2 -1) S^2_2}{n_1 +n_2 -2}

And we want to proof that E(S^2_p)= \sigma^2

So we can begin with this:

E(S^2_p)= E(\frac{(n_1 -1) S^2_1 +(n_2 -1) S^2_2}{n_1 +n_2 -2})

And we can distribute the expected value into the temrs like this:

E(S^2_p)= \frac{(n_1 -1) E(S^2_1) +(n_2 -1) E(S^2_2)}{n_1 +n_2 -2}

And we know that the expected value for the estimator of the variance s is \sigma, or in other way E(s) = \sigma so if we apply this property here we have:

E(S^2_p)= \frac{(n_1 -1 )\sigma^2_1 +(n_2 -1) \sigma^2_2}{n_1 +n_2 -2}

And we know that \sigma^2_1 = \sigma^2_2 = \sigma^2 so using this we can take common factor like this:

E(S^2_p)= \frac{(n_1 -1) +(n_2 -1)}{n_1 +n_2 -2} \sigma^2 =\sigma^2

And then we see that the pooled variance is an unbiased estimator for the population variance when we have two population with the same variance.

Use the following information to write an equation in terms of x. Then solve the equation and find RS and RT .
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming a number line:

rs + st  = rt

3x-16   +    4x-8    = 60  

7x  -24   = 60

7x = 84

x = 12
