Let X1, X2, . . ., Xn be independent, but not identically
distributed, samples. All these Xi ’s are assumed to be normally
distributed with
Xi ∼ N(θci , σ^2 ), i = 1, 2, . . ., n,
where θ is an unknown parameter, σ^2 is known, and ci ’s are
some known constants (not all ci ’s are zero). We wish to estimate

(b) In addition, we assume θ ≥ 1. Find a minimal sufficient
statistic for θ and justify your answer.
