Let y 1 , y 2 , . . . , y n be a random sample

Question:

Let y₁, y₂, . . . , y_n be a random sample of n observations from an exponential distribution with mean β. Derive a large-sample confidence interval for β. Start with the pivotal statistic

and show that for large samples, Z is approximately a standard normal random variable. Then substitute y̅ for β in the denominator (why can you do this?) and follow the pivotal method of Example 7.6.
