This exercise shows that the sample variance is an unbiased estimator of the population variance when Y 1... ,Y n are i.i.d. with mean y variance 2 y.
a. Use Equation (2.31) to show that E[(Y i -
) 2 ] = var( Y i ) - 2 cov( Y i ,
) + var(
).
b. Use Equation (2.33) to show that cov(
,Y i ) = 2 Y /n.
c. Use the results in (a) and (b) to show that E(s 2 Y ) = 2 y.
a. Use Equation (2.31) to show that E[(Y i -
