Let Y1,…, Y18 be a random sample from a uniform distribution on the interval (0, θ], where θ is an unknown parameter we want to estimate. Two estimators for θ have been suggested:
θ_1 = max {Y1, ..., Y18} and θ _ 2 = 2Y¯ = 2 / 18 ∑i = 1, n =18, Yi
a) The expectation value of θ _1 and θ_2 can be expressed respectively E [θ_1] = k_1*θ and E [θ_2] = k_2*θ.
What is the value of k_1?
What is the value of k_2?
b) If the true value of θ is 1, what is the variance of that of the estimators that is the expectation right?
