5. Which estimator is best?: A political party finances its activities through a lottery. The lottery is organized so that each participant has the opportunity to win in three independent rounds. According to the party's advertising material, there is a different chance of winning in the three rounds. If we denote the probability of winning in the first round with , the probability of winning in the second round is 20, and in the third round 50. Here is a parameter that satisfies < 1/5. In both the second and third rounds, all participants have the same chances of winning, regardless of whether they have already won a prize in an earlier round or not. We introduce the three random variables X, Y and Z that indicate whether you get a prize in each of the three rounds. We let X = 1 if the first round gives a prize, and X = 0 otherwise. Similarly for Y in the second round (Y= 1 or Y=0), and Z in the third round. (a) Show that these have expectation and variance: E(X) = 0, E(Y) = 20, E (Z) = 50, 1 §₁ = (X + Y + Z), $1 V (X) = (1 - 0) V (Y) = 20 (1 - 20) V (Z) = 50(1- 50) You will determine an estimate for the probability from the three observations X, Y, Z. You propose to use one of these estimators: - which when we evaluate for Y 82 = 1/² (x + 1/2 + 1/7). $2 X (b) Find the expectation and variance of $₁ and 2 when = 0.1. Decide which of the estimators is best (when = 0.1). Hint: We have: 1 1 1 V (§2) = 3²7 (Þ(1 − 4) +; (0(1 − ¢) + 22 26(1 − 26) +; 20(1 - = 0.1 gives V (₂) = 0.0162. − 2) + 250(1 − 50)) 1-5ø)).
