Let X1, ...., Xn be a random sample from a population with θ unknown and given by the density f(x; θ) = ( 1 2θ √2 x e − √2 x θ if x > 0 0 if x ≤ 0 1.  Show that E(X) = 2θ 2 and E( √2 X) = θ (Hint: you may use that R ∞ 0 e −z z α−1dz = (α − 1)! for every α ∈ N). 2.  Show that the statistic θbn := 1 n Xn i=1 p2 Xi (1) is an unbiased estimator of θ. 3.  Give the definition of a consistent estimator. 4.  Show that the estimator θbn given in relation (1) is a consistent estimator of θ. 5.  Show that the estimator θbn is a minimum variance estimator of θ. (Hint: use the Cramer-Rao inequality given by var(θb) ≥ 1 nE  ∂ ln(f(X;θ) ∂θ 2
