Let X1, X2, ..., Xn be a random sample having the common pdf
f(x, ) = 2 exp{2(x )} for x .
(i) Show that b = min(X1, X2, ..., Xn) is the MLE of .
(ii) Show that the pdf of b is f(x, ) = 2n exp{2n(x )} for x . (Hint: Find the common distribution function of Xi and use 1.1-6.)
(iii) Is b an unbiased estimator of ? Justify your answer
