Consider a large population which has population mean µ, and population variance σ 2 . We take a sample of size n = 3 from this population, thinking of the samples as realizations of the RVs X1, X2, and X3, where the Xi can be considered iid. We are interested in estimating µ. (a) Consider the estimator ˆµ1 = X1 + X2 − X3. Is this estimator unbiased for µ? Explain your answer. (b) Find the variance of ˆµ1. (c)...

(1) Let µ be the mileage of a certain brand of tire. A sample of n = 22 tires is taken at random, resulting in the sample mean x = 29, 132 and sample variance s2= 2, 236. Assuming that the distribution is normal, find a 99 percent confidence interval for µ. (2)We need to estimate the average of a normal population and from measurements on similar populations we estimate that the sample mean is s2 = 9. Find the...
