Homework Statement
show that [(n+1)X(n)/n]2 is not an unbiased estimate of theta2 in unform distribution U[0,theta]
X(n) is the order statistic
The attempt at a solution
I was going to take E{[(n+1)X(n)/n]2} split it as
E[((n+1)/2)2] * E[X(n)2] and then show that it does not equal to theta2.
Could some one please confirm if this is correct? or help me out with the direction?
