    Regression Analysis for Manuscript Correction Costs | Homework Help Needed

    Here are my numbers from my confidence interval: From R: MSE=.9077103, s2{b1}= 3.104238e-05, s{b1}= 0.005571569 Confidence interval: b1±t(1-α/2,n-1) s{b1} 18.02830±t(1-.02/2,12-1)(0.005571569) =18.02830±(2.718)(0.005571569) (18.01316, 18.04344) Could someone check to see if this is...

    Stat Theory: Need to Prove Consistent Estimator

    Hi Ray, I am not understanding how you went from ∫tf(t-θ) to what you have presented below. Could you provide further details in the steps you have listed below? Also, should have I made my integral from theta to infinity instead of 0 to theta? Thanks!

    Stat Theory: Need to Prove Consistent Estimator

    So I am struggling with this homework problem because I got burned out of another problem earlier today, and I just cannot get beyond what I have. The problem is: Let X be a continuous random variable with the pdf: f(x)=e^(-(x-θ)) , x > θ , and suppose we have a sample of size n ...

    Dealing with burnout: should I continue in math?

    I really wish I could hug you. You have just helped me to know that I'm not the only one in this world that feels like you. I am just starting my third year in my undergrad mathematical career, and I'm going through my Intro to Proofs class and feeling like a complete failure. I do fabulous on...
