Let Y1, Y2, Y3 be the observation of X. X and Y1,Y2,Y3 are all zero mean real-valued random variables.
We are to design a linear estimator.
SOLUTION IS PROVIDED ON THE BOTTOM.
DON'T NEED TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM
MY ONLY QUESTION IS:
In part C, c = E[X]
Please explain why the inside cancels out and c becomes just E[X]

Let Y1, Y2, and Y3 be independent, N(0, 1)-distributed random variables, and set X1 = Y1 − Y3, X2 = 2Y1 + Y2 − 2Y3, X3 = −2Y1 + 3Y3.Determine the conditional distribution of X2 given that X1 + X3 = x.
15. (30 points) Let Y1 < Y2 < Y3 < Y4 be the order statistics of a random sample of size n = 4 from a distribution with p.d.f.f(x) 2x, 0 < x < 1, zero elsewhere. Evaluate E[Yalyj]. [Hint: First find the joint p.d.f. of Y3 and Y4, and then find the conditional p.d.f. of Y4 given Y3 y3]
15. (30 points) Let Y1
Let Y1 N(1,1), Y2 N(2,2), and Y3 N(3,3) be independent random variables. Find a new random variable Y4 that is a function of Y1, Y2, and Y3 such that Y4 has a t-distribution with 2 degrees of freedom, and explain why it has that distribution. (To avoid confusion, the parameters in the normal distributions above are the mean and the standard deviation.)
2. [x] Suppose that Y1, Y2, Y3 denote a random sample from an exponential distribution whose pdf and cdf are given by f(y) = (1/0)e¬y/® and F(y) =1 – e-y/0, 0 > 0. It is also known that E[Y;] = 0. ', y > 0, respectively, with some unknown (a) Let X = min{Y1,Y2, Y3}. Show that X has pdf given by f(æ) = (3/0)e-3y/º. Start by thinking about 1- F(x) = Pr(min{Y1,Y2, Y3} > x) = Pr(Y1 > x,...

Let Y1<Y2<...<Yn be the
order statistics of a random sample of size n from the distribution
having p.d.f f(x) = e-y , 0<y<, zero elsewhere. Answer the following
questions.
(a) decide whether Z1 = Y2
and Z2=Y4-Y2 are
stochastically independent or not. (hint. first find the joint
p.d.f. of Y2 and Y4)
(b) show that
Z1 = nY1, Z2=
(n-1)(Y2-Y1),
Z3=(n-2)(Y3-Y2), ....,
Zn=Yn-Yn-1
are stocahstically
independent and that each Zi has the exponential
distribution.(hint use change of variable technique)
