Question
![The length of a phone call is assumed to be uniformly distributed over the interval \((\theta, \theta + 1)\),
where \(\theta\) is the parameter one would like to estimate. Consider a random sample
\[ X_1, \ldots, X_n \]
of the lengths of \(n\) phone calls, and denote its sample mean as \(\overline{X}\). Calculate the bias of \(\overline{X}\), when using it as a point estimator for \(\theta\).](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fe9ad9a17-86a2-4d23-8aeb-c537a78d9db8%2F49a7c233-5954-4bcf-891e-4f8be8afa4a5%2Fyzfqmrq_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
