Question: Let X 1 , X 2 , X 3 , . . ., Xn be a random sample from a distribution with mean EX i

Let X1, X2, X3, . . ., Xn be a random sample from a distribution with mean EXi = θ, and variance Var(Xi) = σ2. Consider the following two estimators for θ:1. n = X1. X. 2. , = X X+X+...+Xn n

Find MSE(^Θ1) and MSE(^Θ2) and show that for n > 1, we haveMSE() > MSE().

1. n = X1. X. 2. , = X X+X+...+Xn n
