QUESTION 1
Let X1, X2, X3, X4 be the lifetimes (in hours) of a random sample of 4 light bulbs. Futhermore,
suppose that the lifetime of each bulb has a distribution with probability density function
1
exp
if 0 < a < x < 0 and ß > 0,
B
f(x|a, ß) =
otherwise;
and moment generating function M(t) =
1– Bt
eat
tß < 1.
If the observations are 820, 910, 1060, and 490, what are:
(a) the method of moments estimates of a and ß; and
(b) the maximum likelihood estimates of a and ß?
