SUMMARY
The discussion revolves around the discrepancy between two unbiased estimators, T1 and T2, calculated as T1 = (4 / n) * 1997 - 2 and T2 = (4 / n) * 32. Despite both being unbiased, the values of T1 and T2 differ significantly, with T1 yielding 0.08075 and T2 yielding 0.03334. The key conclusion is that while unbiased estimators have expected values equal to the parameter θ, their observed values can vary widely based on sample size and distribution, leading to differing results.
