Show thet in sampling from a population with mean 4: and variance o*, sample mean ¥ is an unbiased estimater of w, but the sample variance s? is not unbiased to o? (3) A random sample of n observations by drawn from N (/4,1). Show that the statistic # = is an unbiased estimator of @ Or A random sample of five observations X,,X,,X,,X,,X, be drawn from 2 normal population with unknown mean yw. Let 4 +X, x, + X, 3 statistics, which ere unbiased to #? And which one is the best among three? Ve X,,X,,...,X, are the values of a random sample from an exponential population, find the maximum Likelihood estimator of its parameter 8 +X, and t, From the above the Explain the test procedure for testing the equality of two means in large samples with an example in industrial applications. © In a manufacturing industry, there a two independent process producing the same item of steel roads. The average length in a sample of 200 items by process-A is found to be 120 ems with a standard deviation of 10 cms. By process-B based on a sample of 300 items, the average length is 125 cms with a standard deviation of 15 cms. Test whether the difference between the processes are significant by their average at. 5% level of significance oO Or Explain the ‘steps involved in testing the re contingency table uoing chi oquaro test with ite practical applications. © The following table shows the flooring type of their houses and the income level of a sample of 200 households are given below.
