Help with Unbiased Estimators
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? |

Your answers are correct. The expected value of T1 is θ. However, any observed value of T1 may or may not be close to θ.
