Question:

In each case below, the outcome of some function, T(X(n)), of n iid random variables X(n)=(X1,,Xn) is being considered for providing an estimate of some function of parameters, q(θ). Determine whether E(T(X(n)))=q(θ), limnE(T(X(n)))=q(θ), and plim(T(X(n)))=q(θ).

(a) Xi 's iid Gamma(α,β) and T(X(n))=X¯n is being used to estimate q(α,β)=αβ.

(b) Xi 's iid Gamma(α,β) and T(X(n))=i=1n(XiX¯n)2/ (n1) is being used to estimate q(α,β)=αβ2

(c) Xi 's iid Bernoulli (p) and T(X(n))=X¯n(1X¯n) is being used to estimate q(p)=p(1p).

(d) Xi s iid N(μ,σ2) and
