Question 1

Multiple Choice

Which of the following statements are true if X1,X2,,XnX _ { 1 } , X _ { 2 } , \cdots \cdots , X _ { n } is a random sample from a distribution with mean μ and variance σ2\mu \text { and variance } \sigma ^ { 2 } ?


A) S2=(XXˉ) 2/(n+2)  is an unbiased estimator of σ2S ^ { 2 } = \sum ( X - \bar { X } ) ^ { 2 } / ( n + 2 ) \text { is an unbiased estimator of } \sigma ^ { 2 }
B) S2=(XXˉ) 2/(n+1)  is an unbiased estimator of σ2S ^ { 2 } = \sum ( X - \bar { X } ) ^ { 2 } / ( n + 1 ) \text { is an unbiased estimator of } \sigma ^ { 2 }
C) S2=(XXˉ) 2/n is an unbiased estimator of σ2S ^ { 2 } = \sum ( X - \bar { X } ) ^ { 2 } / n \text { is an unbiased estimator of } \sigma ^ { 2 }
D) S2=(XXˉ) 2/(n1)  is an unbiased estimator of σ2S ^ { 2 } = \sum ( X - \bar { X } ) ^ { 2 } / ( n - 1 ) \text { is an unbiased estimator of } σ^ { 2 }

E) All of the above statements are true provided that the sample size n > 30.
