- Theorem A at Section 8.8.1 saysA necessary and sufficient condition for T(X1,..., Xn) to be sufficient for a parameter θ is that the joint probability function (density function or frequency function) factors in the formf(x1,...,xn|θ) = g[T(x1,...,xn),θ]h(x1,...,xn)arrow_forwardSuppose that ƒ is a uniform joint probability density function on0 ≤ x 6 2, 0 ≤ y < 3. What is the formula for ƒ? What is theprobability that X < Y?arrow_forwardThe life (in years) of a laptop battery has a probability density function defined by P(x)=12e−x/2P(x)=12e-x/2for x in [0,∞)[0,∞). Find the probability that a randomly selected laptop battery will last between 3 and 8 years?arrow_forward
