Suppose that a random variable X has the Poisson distribution with unknown mean λ (λ > 0). Find a statistic δ(X) that will be an unbiased estimator of eλ. If E[δ(X)] = eλ, then
5(x)e-* = e. x! X=0

Multiply both sides of this equation by eλ, expand the right side in a power series in λ, and then equate the coefficients of λx on both sides of the equation for x = 0, 1, 2, . . . .

5(x)e-* = e. x! X=0
