- Let X be a continuous random variable with mean μ and standard deviation σ. If X is transformed to Y = 2X + 3, what are the mean and standard deviation of Y?arrow_forwardLet Zw distributed as Chi square random variable with n degree of freedom. Find the limiting distribution of Wn = Zw/n2arrow_forwardSuppose that n observations are chosen at random from a continuous pdf fY(y). What is the probability that the last observation recorded will be the smallest number in the sample?arrow_forward
- Consider a random sample X1, . . . , Xn of size n ≥ 2 from the normal distribution N (0, σ2 ) with parameter σ2 > 0 Suppose that the prior distribution for σ2 is inverse Gamma with densityarrow_forwardA projectile is launched at an angle theta with respect to the surface with velocity v0 (deterministic). If the angle of inclination is a uniform random variable in [0, pi/2 ], calculate the distribution function of the variable R defined as the point of impact of the projectile on the ground, measured from the origin. Also calculate your expected valuearrow_forwardLet X1, ... , Xn be a random sample from Uniform(theta, theta + 1). Let theta_hat_1 = Xbar - 1/2, theta_hat_2 = X(n) - n/(n+1). Find the efficiency of theta_hat1 (type error in the image) relative to theta_hat_2arrow_forward

(b) Are those estimators unbiased?arrow_forwardConsider the experiment of tossing a fair coin three times. Let X denote the number of heads on the second and third flip. Let Y denote the total number of heads on all three flips. (a) Find px,y (x, y) (b) Find the marginal pdfs of X and Y for the joint pdf derived abovearrow_forward
- To test Upper H 0: mu equals 60 versus Upper H 1: mu less than60, a random sample of size N equals 25 is obtained from a population that is known to be normally distributed. Complete parts (a) through (d) below.arrow_forwardLet Y1, . . . , YN be a random sample from the Normal distribution Yi ∼ N(ln β, s2) where s2 is known. Find the Score function, the estimating equation and the information matrix.arrow_forwardSuppose a continuous random variable X pdf constant from 0 to 7.516, where the pdf is zero elsewhere. what is variance of this random variable?arrow_forward
