This document provides instructions for Continuous Assessment 3 for the course Probability and Statistics with course code MTH302. It is divided into two sets with different questions for students with odd and even roll numbers. It outlines 5 questions for each set worth a total of 30 marks. Students are instructed to show their working, take photos of their answer sheets, compile them into a single PDF file named according to their section and roll number, and upload it to the university's learning management system.

Set A (For students with odd roll numbers)


Answer all questions:

Q1. If X1, X2, and X3 form a random sample of size 3 from normal population with mean µ and variance
X 1 − 3X 2 − 2X 3
σ 2 and T1, T2, T3 are estimators of mean where T1 = , T2 = 2X 1 + X 2 − 3X 3
3
X 1 + 4X 2 − λX 3
T3 = (i) Are T1, T2 unbiased estimators of mean.(ii) Find λ such that T3 is unbiased
3
estimator.(iii) Which of T1, T2, T3 is the most efficient? (iv) Find the efficiency of the other two. [10]

Q2. Find the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) of the parameter  in a Bernoulli population by
assuming  ,  , …  are  observation from that population [5]

Q3. Find the parameter for which


∑x i
is an unbiased estimator for the sample x1 , x2 , x3 .........., xn
n
drawn from a normal population with unknown mean µ and variance 3.
n

∑ (x
i =1
i − x)
2

Q4. Prove that S = is an unbiased estimator of population variance. [5]


n −1

Q5. What is a consistent estimator. Show that =  1 −  is a consistent estimator for (1 − ) where
 = ∑  and  ,  , … ,  are  independent observations on X which takes the values 1 and 0 with
respective probabilities   1 − . [5]

[Note: Write your answer carefully. Take image of your answer sheets one after another, then compile
them into single pdf file and upload the file against test 3 component corresponding to MTH302 in ums.

Also name your file in the following way. Section_rollnumber_MTH302.pdf. For example student with
roll number 05 of section K19XC should save K19XC_05_MTH302.pdf]
