Suppose X 1 , . . . , X n are independent random variables with the common
Question:
Suppose X1, . . . , Xn are independent random variables with the common mean μ but with unequal variances σ2i = Var(Xi).
(a) Determine the variance of ‾X.
(b) Determine the constant K so that Q = K Σni=1(Xi − ‾X)2 is an unbiased estimate of the variance of ‾X.
Fantastic news! We've Found the answer you've been seeking!
Step by Step Answer:
a We have that the variance of the sum of two independent random variables is the sum of the variances of the individual random variables That is if X and Y are independent random variables then VarXY...View the full answer
