Q1. Let Xn=0.54617 and Xn+1 = 0.54601. Determine the absolute and relative errors for the reported...
1. Suppose that Xi,..,Xn are independent Exponential random variables with density f(x; λ) λ exp(-1x) for x > 0 where λ > 0 is an unknown parameter (a) Show that the τ quantile of the Exponential distribution is F-1 (r)--X1 In(1-7) and give an approximation to Var(X(k)) for k/n-T. What happens to this variance as τ moves from 0 to 1? (b) The form of the quantile function in part (a) can be used to give a quantile-quantile (QQ) plot...
