Let Y₁, Y2, ..., Yn be a random sample from a population with a Gamma distribution with parameters a = 3 and unknown. Find the Minimum Variance Unbiased Estimator for B. Show your work, and explain how you know your estimator is the MVUE.
Suppose that the number of customer that enter a bank in an hour is a Poisson random variable, and suppose that P(X=0)=0.05. Determine the variance of X.
The number of ice creams sold per hour from Mr Fishy’s van is observed to be a Poisson random variable with parameter λ = 8. Each ice cream costs two pounds but Mr Fishy has to pay five pounds per hour for the pitch. What is the variance of his hourly profit (measured in pounds and ignoring all other income and expenses)?
Assume a data set D is observed by three models M₁, M2, and M3 which all follow a normal distribution with the variance 4. The differences between the models are in their means of the distri- bution which are 2, 4, and 8; respectively. Furthermore, assume that from prior knowledge we believe p(M₁) = 0.3, p(M₂) = 0.4 and p(M3) = 0.3. Given a data point x = 3.1 which model has a higher accuracy (or probability to be correct)?
Two random samples of sizes 10, 13 are taken from types of plastics and tested for breaking strength. The test result is that the average strength of the first type 175 and the average strength of the second type is 160. It is known that the two samples have variances 12, 16. The company decides not to use the first type unless its strength exceeds that of second type by at most 9. Should they use the first type or not? (Assume a=0.1)
