Problem 1: confidence interval for a variance parameter for a normal distribution Let Ybe a normal random variable with mean μand variance σ2. Assume that μis known but σ2is unknown. Show that ((Y-μ)/σ)2is a pivotal quantity. Use this pivotal quantity to derive a 1-α confidence interval for σ2. (The answer should be left in terms of critical values for the appropriate distribution.)
(5) If F(x) is the CDF of a Normal distribution with mean 50 and variance 16, and G(x) is the CDF of a Normal distribution with mean 25 and variance 9, is the function H(x) = (1- c)F(x) + cG(x) also a legitimate CDF (for any positive fraction c)? What’s the pdf for H(x)? Can you find the mean and the variance for H(x) in terms of those parameters for F(x) and G(x)?
