Exercise 2.50 Use the probability distribution<br />

3 √ 2π e− 1 (x−5) 2<br />

2 9 to generate ten points.<br />

(a) From the ten points estimate µ. How close is the estimate <strong>of</strong> µ to the true mean <strong>of</strong><br />

5?<br />

(b) Using the true mean <strong>of</strong> 5, estimate σ 2 by the formula σ 2 = 1<br />

is the estimate <strong>of</strong> σ 2 to the true variance <strong>of</strong> 9?<br />

(c) Using your estimate m <strong>of</strong> the mean, estimate σ 2 by the formula σ 2 = 1<br />

10<br />

How close is the estimate <strong>of</strong> σ 2 to the true variance <strong>of</strong> 9?<br />

(d) Using your estimate m <strong>of</strong> the mean, estimate σ 2 by the formula σ 2 = 1 9<br />

How close is the estimate <strong>of</strong> σ 2 to the true variance <strong>of</strong> 9?<br />
