Let X1, ... , Xn be a random sample (i.i.d.) from Geometric(p) distribution with PMF P(X = x) = (1 – p)*p, x = 0, 1, 2, . .. The mean of this distribution is (1 – p)/p. (a) :) Find the MLE of p. (b) ( s) Find the estimator for p using method of moments. (c) Now let's think like a Bayesian. Consider a Beta prior on p, i.e., p~ Beta(a, B). Find the posterior distribution of p. Hint: For Geometric likelihood, the conjugate prior on p is a Beta distribution. (d) ) What is the Bayes estimator of p under squared error loss? Denote it by PB.

Suppose X and Y are independent. X has a mean of 1 and variance of 1, Y has a mean of 0, and variance of 2. Let S=X+Y, calculate E(S) and Var(S). Let Z=2Y^2+1/2 X+1 calculate E(Z). Hint: for any random variable X, we have Var(X)=E(X-E(X))^2=E(X^2 )-(E(X))^2, you may want to find EY^2 with this. Calculate cov(S,X). Hint: similarly, we have cov(Z,X)=E(ZX)-E(Z)E(X), Calculate cov(Z,X). Are Z and X independent? Are Z and Y independent? Why? What about mean independence?
