Let \(\bar{X}_{n}\) denote the mean of a random sample of size \(n\) from a Poisson distribution with parameter \(\mu=1\) (a) Show that the mgf of \(Y_{n}=\sqrt{n}\left(\bar{X}_{n}-\mu\right) / \sigma=\sqrt{n}\left(\bar{X}_{n}-1\right)\) is given by \(\exp \left[-t \sqrt{n}+n\left(e^{t / \sqrt{n}}-1\right)\right]\) (b) Investigate the limiting distribution of \(Y_{n}\) as \(n \rightarrow \infty\). Hint: Replace, by its MacLaurin's series, the expression \(e^{t / \sqrt{n}}\), which is in the exponent of the mgf of \(Y_{n}\).
Let \(Y_{n}\) denote the maximum of a random sample from a distribution of the continuous type that has cdf \(F(x)\) and pdf \(f(x)=F^{\prime}(x)\). Find the limiting distribution of \(Z_{n}=n\left[1-F\left(Y_{n}\right)\right]\)
Let \(Y_{1}
Let \(\bar{X}\) denote the mean of a random sample of size 100 from a distribution that is \(\chi^{2}(50)\). Compute an approximate value of \(P(49<\bar{X}<51)\).
For the last exercise, suppose that the sample is drawn from a \(N\left(\mu, \sigma^{2}\right)\) distribution. Recall that \((n-1) S^{2} / \sigma^{2}\) has a \(\chi^{2}(n-1)\) distribution. Use Theorem 3.3.1 to determine an unbiased estimator of \(\sigma\).
