    Variance and unbiased estimator

    Please see the attached file for full problem description. --- ? A random sample of independent observations is taken from a Rayleigh distribution, whose density function is given by for x> or equal to 0 0 if x<0 show that the maximum likelihood estimate is given by . Using the result that deduce that is

    Inference Wage Negotiation

    Wage negotiations between your firm and the union representing your workers are about to collapse. There is considerable disagreement about the mean wage level of workers in Plant A and in Plant B. Wages wee set by the old labor agreement reached three years ago and are based strictly on seniority. Although wages are closely con

    Determine probability, mean, and variance

    An urn contains four red balls and four white balls. An experiment consists of selecting at random a sample of four balls and recording the number of red balls in the sample. Set up the probability distribution and compute its mean and variance.

    Variance and standard deviation

    Student A received the following course grades during her first year of college: 4, 4, 4, 4, 3, 3, 2, 2, 2, 2, 0. Student B received the following grades during her first year of college: 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 3, 1, 1, 1. (a) Write down the relative frequency distribution tables for each student, and compute the population mea

    Population Variance Detailed

    The population variance is hypothesized to be 35.5 and a sample of 26 observations yields a standard deviation of 7. What is the value of the chi-square test statistic? Which one? a. 4.93 b. 18.1 c. 34.5 d. 35.9

    Random Variables - The Variance

    ======================= 10 equally qualified applicants; six men and four women apply for three lab technician positions. Unable to justify choosing any of the applicants over all the others, the personnel director decides to select the three at random. Let X denote the number of men hired. Compute the standard deviation of X

    Heteroskedasticity Residual Plots

    I am attaching three different residual plots. I am trying to determine whether heteroskedasticity is present. I don't believe I see any pattern indicative of heteroskedasticity (nonconstant variance). I know it can be difficult to detect - do you see any indication of this?
