Sketch the p.d.f. of the\({{\bf{\chi }}^{\bf{2}}}\)distribution withmdegrees of freedom for each of the following values ofm. Locate the mean, the median, and the mode on each sketch. (a)m=1;(b)m=2; (c)m=3; (d)m=4.
Suppose that each of two statisticians, A and B, independently takes a random sample of 20 observations from the normal distribution with unknown mean μ and known variance 4. Suppose also that statistician A finds the sample variance in his random sample to be 3.8, and statistician B finds the sample variance in her random sample to be 9.4. For which random sample is the sample mean likely to be closer to the unknown value of μ?
Question:Suppose that a random variable X has the geometric distribution with an unknown parameter p. (See Sec. 5.5.).Find a statistic \({\bf{\delta }}\left( {\bf{X}} \right)\)that will be an unbiased estimator of\(\frac{{\bf{1}}}{{\bf{p}}}\).
Suppose that a random variable X has the exponential distribution with meanθ, which is unknown(θ >0). Find the Fisher information±õ(θ)inX.
