Let X denote the mean of a random sample size n from distribution that has mean U and variance o = 10. Find the sample size n, so that the probability is approximately =0.954 %3D that the random interval X -5,X+5 | contains U is Select one: a. n=100 b. n= 40 C. n = 80 d. n = 160
4. Sixteen-ounce boxes of shredded wheat cereal packed automatically by machine are sometimes over- weight and sometimes underweight. The actual weight in ounces over or under 16 is a random variable X whose probability density is f(x) = c(4- x²) for -2 < x < 2, and 0 elsewhere. Negative values pertain to ounces under 16. Determine the constant c, and then find the probability that a box of cereal will be (a) more than one ounce underweight.

B5. Let X₁, X₂, ..., Xn be IID random variable with common expectation µ and common variance o², and let X = (X₁ + + X₂)/n be the mean of these random variables. We will be considering the random variable S² given by (a) By writing or otherwise, show that S² (b) Hence or otherwise, show that n S² = (x₁ - x)². = Ĺ(X₂ i=1 X₁ X = (X₁-μ) - (x-μ) = Σ(X; -μ)² - n(X - μ)². i=1 ES² = (n-1)0². You may use facts about X from the notes provided you state them clearly. (You may find it helpful to recognise some expectations as definitional formulas for variances, where appropriate.) (c) At the beginning of this module, we defined the sample variance of the values x₁, x2,...,xn to be S = 1 n-1 n i=1 ((x₁ - x)². Explain one reason why we might consider it appropriate to use 1/(n-1) as the factor at the beginning of this expression, rather than simply 1/n. B6.

4. Estimation based on a function of the observation. Let e be a positive random variable, with known mean p and variance o?, to be estimated on the basis of a measurement X of the form X = vOW. We assume that W is independent of e with zero mean, unit variance, and known fourth moment E[W4]. Thus, the conditional mean and variance of X given O are 0 and 0, respectively, so we are essentially trying to estimate the variance of X given an observed value. (a) Find the linear LMS estimator of e based on X = x. (b) Let Y = X?. Find the linear LMS estimator of O based on Y = y.
