Suppose θb is an unbiased point estimator for a parameter θ. We obtain 10,000 different random samples and we compute the value of θb every time. Can we say that θb will underestimate θ a total of 5000 times and it will overestimate θ another 5000 times? What do you expect to see in this experiment?

Olympic Pole Vault The graph in Figure 7 indicates that in recent years the winning Olympic men’s pole vault height has fallen below the value predicted by the regression line in Example 2. This might have occurred because when the pole vault was a new event there was much room for improvement in vaulters’ performances, whereas now even the best training can produce only incremental advances. Let’s see whether concentrating on more recent results gives a better predictor of future records. (a) Use the data in Table 2 (page 176) to complete the table of winning pole vault heights shown in the margin. (Note that we are using x=0 to correspond to the year 1972, where this restricted data set begins.) (b) Find the regression line for the data in part ‚(a). (c) Plot the data and the regression line on the same axes. Does the regression line seem to provide a good model for the data? (d) What does the regression line predict as the winning pole vault height for the 2012 Olympics? Compare this predicted value to the actual 2012 winning height of 5.97 m, as described on page 177. Has this new regression line provided a better prediction than the line in Example 2?

Flavia wanted to know if the first sample quartile (or Q1) was an unbiased estimator of the first population quartile. She started with a large population of normally distributed grades, the first quartile of which was Q = 70. She then took a random sample of 6 tests and calculated the first quartile of the sample. She replaced those exams and repeated this process a total of 50 times. Her results are summarized in the dot plot below, where each point represents the first sample quartile of a sample of 6 exams. Based on these results, does the first sample quartile appear to be a biased or unbiased estimator of the first population quartile? Track; the first population quartile is 70.
