7. Let X₁, X2, ..., Xn be a random sample from normal distribution with mean and standard
deviation o.
(a) Find the maximum likelihood estimators of u and ²
μ
(b) Show that, the estimator of μ is unbiased but the estimator of o2 is biased
(c) Compute the bias of the estimator of o2 and comment on it. Hence, write a function of this
estimator that is unbiased, find its variance and show that, it is consistent.
(d) Find the Cramer-Rao lower bound variance of o² and hence find the absolute efficiency of the
unbiased estimator you proposed in (c).
