- Let X1, X2,...Xn be a random sample of size n from a normal distribution with mean u and variance o2. Let Xn denote the sample average, defined in the usual way. PROVE E [Xn] = uarrow_forwardIf X has the discrete uniform distribution f(x) = 1k for x = 1, 2, ... , k, show that(a) its mean is μ = k + 12 ;(b) its variance is σ2 = k2 − 112arrow_forward10 Suppose that X is a continuous random variable with pdf given by X(x) =cxα−1e−(x/β)α for x≥0, where α >0,β >0 are some parameters of the distribution, and c is a constant. (a) Find the value of c such that fX is a valid pdf.(b) Find the cdf and the quantile function of X.(c) Ifα= 2 andβ= 4, calculate P(X <1) and find the quartiles of X.arrow_forward

Assuming the distribution of Xi is N(μi, σ2), i = 1, 2, 3, 4 and you test the null hypothesis H0: μ1 = μ2 = μ3 = μ4, using seven observations of each Xi, what would be the critical region for an alpha = 0.05 significance level?arrow_forward
