In recent years, several companies have been formed to compete with AT&T in long-distance calls. All advertisethat their rates are lower than AT&T's. AT&T has responded by arguing that there will be no dierence in billingfor the average consumer.Suppose that the average bill for current AT&T customers is $21. A statistician takes a random sample of 100customers and recalculates their last month's AT&T bill using the rates quoted by a competitor. Let X be therandom variable for the amount of a recalculated bill, and µ be the unknown population mean of X. The samplemean and standard deviation for X are $20 and $6.

Consider a real random variable X with zero mean and variance σ2X . Suppose that wecannot directly observe X, but instead we can observe Yt := X + Wt, t ∈ [0, T ], where T > 0 and{Wt : t ∈ R} is a WSS process with zero mean and correlation function RW , uncorrelated with X.Further suppose that we use the following linear estimator to estimate X based on {Yt : t ∈ [0, T ]}:ˆXT =Z T0h(T − θ)Yθ dθ,i.e., we pass the process {Yt} through a causal LTI filter with impulse response h and sample theoutput at time T . We wish to design h to minimize the mean-squared error of the estimate.a. Use the orthogonality principle to write down a necessary and sufficient condition for theoptimal h. (The condition involves h, T , X, {Yt : t ∈ [0, T ]}, ˆXT , etc.)b. Use part a to derive a condition involving the optimal h that has the following form: for allτ ∈ [0, T ],a =Z T0h(θ)(b + c(τ − θ)) dθ,where a and b are constants and c is some function. (You must find a, b, and c in terms ofthe information…
