Bob decides that after his heart attack is a
good time to get in shape, so he starts exer-
cising each day and plans to increase his
exercise time as he goes along. Look at the
two line graphs shown in the following fig-
ures. One is a good representation of his
data, and the other should get as much use
as Bob's treadmill before his heart attack.

Prove that, for any random variable X, the minimum of EIX-al is attained for a = med (X).arrow_forward8. Recall, from Sect. 2.16.4, the likelihood ratio statistic, Ln, which was defined as a product of independent, identically distributed random variables with mean 1 (under the so-called null hypothesis), and the, sometimes more convenient, log-likelihood, log L, which was a sum of independent, identically distributed random variables, which, however, do not have mean log 1 = 0. (a) Verify that the last claim is correct, by proving the more general statement, namely that, if Y is a non-negative random variable with finite mean, then E(log Y) log(EY). (b) Prove that, in fact, there is strict inequality: E(log Y) < log(EY), unless Y is degenerate. (c) Review the proof of Jensen's inequality, Theorem 5.1. Generalize with a glimpse on (b).arrow_forward
