5. Let X ∼ Exp(λ) with λ unknown, and suppose X1, X2 is a random sample of size 2. Show that M = sqrt( X1 · X2 ) is a biased estimator of 1/λ and modify it to create an unbiased estimator. (Hint: During your journey, you’ll need the help of the gamma distribution, the gamma function, and the knowledge that Γ(1/2) = √ π.)
