Question:

A random sample of size 8 is taken from a Exp(λ) distribution, where λ is unknown. The sample values are 2.74, 6.41, 4.96, 1.65, 6.38, 0.19, 0.52, and 8.38. This exercise shows how to use the bootstrap to estimate the bias and uncertainty (σλ̂) in λ̂ = 1/X̅.

a. Compute λ̂ = 1/X̅ for the given sample. 

b. Estimate the bias and uncertainty (λ̂ *1) in λ̂ .
