    Show that Xbar - Ybar is a consistent estimator

    Suppose that X sub 1, X sub 2,... X sub n and Y sub 1, Y sub 2,... Y sub n are independent random samples from populations with means mu sub x and mu sub y and variances sigma squared sub x and sigma squared sub y , respectively. Show that X bar - Y bar is a consistent estimator of mu sub x - mu...
