1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data
See attached.
2. Relevant equations
3. The attempt at a solution
I have no issues with part A. I simply took the expected value of T1 and T2 and everything turned out fine. What I'm having issues with is part B.
I have:
T1 = (4 / n) * 1997 - 2 = 0.08075
T2 = (4 / n) * 32 = 0.03334
Why are my answers so different if they are both unbiased estimators? Shouldn't they at least be somewhat close to each other?
