Let X1, X2,
X3, and X4 be a random
sample of observations from a population with mean μ and
variance σ2. The observations are independent because
they were randomly drawn. Consider the following two point
estimators of the population mean μ:
1 = 0.10 X1 + 0.40
X2 + 0.40 X3 + 0.10
X4 and
2 = 0.20 X1 + 0.30
X2 + 0.30 X3 + 0.20
