pdf \(f(x)=2(1-x), 0
In Exercise \(5.4 .14\) we found a confidence interval for the variance \(\sigma^{2}\) using the variance \(S^{2}\) of a random sample of size \(n\) arising from \(N\left(\mu, \sigma^{2}\right)\), where the mean \(\mu\) is unknown. In testing \(H_{0}: \sigma^{2}=\sigma_{0}^{2}\) against \(H_{1}: \sigma^{2}>\sigma_{0}^{2}\), use the critical region defined by \((n-1) S^{2} / \sigma_{0}^{2} \geq c .\) That is, reject \(H_{0}\) and accept \(H_{1}\) if \(S^{2} \geq c \sigma_{0}^{2} /(n-1)\). If \(n=13\) and the significance level \(\alpha=0.025\), determine \(c .\)
Let \(X_{1}, \ldots, X_{n}\) be a random sample from the Bernoulli distribution, \(b(1, p)\), where \(p\) is unknown. Let \(Y=\sum_{i=1}^{n} X_{i}\) (a) Find the distribution of \(Y\). (b) Show that \(Y / n\) is an unbiased estimator of \(p\). (c) What is the variance of \(Y / n ?\)
Let \(Y_{1}
Let \(X\) be a random variable with a continuous cdf \(F(x)\). Assume that \(F(x)\) is strictly increasing on the space of \(X\). Consider the random variable \(Z=F(X)\). Show that \(Z\) has a uniform distribution on the interval \((0,1)\).
