Question 37

Multiple Choice

Let X1,X2,,XmX _ { 1 } , X _ { 2 } , \ldots \ldots , X _ { \mathrm { m } } be a random sample from a normal population with mean μ1 and known variance σ12\mu _ { 1 } \text { and known variance } \sigma _ { 1 } ^ { 2 } \text {, } and let Y1,Y2,,YnY _ { 1 } , Y _ { 2 } , \ldots \ldots , Y _ { n } be a random sample from a normal population with mean μ2 and variance σ22\mu _ { 2 } \text { and variance } \sigma _ { 2 } ^ { 2 } \text {, } and that the X and Y samples are independent of one another. Which of the following statements are true?


A) Xˉ\bar { X }
Is normally distributed with expected value μ1 and variance σ12/m\mu _ { 1 } \text { and variance }σ _ { 1 } ^ { 2 } / m
B) Yˉ\bar { Y }
Is normally distributed with expected value μ2 and variance σ22/n\mu_{2} \text { and variance } σ_{2}^{2} / n

C) XˉYˉ\bar { X } - \bar { Y }
Is normally distributed with expected value μ1μ2 and variance (σ12/m+σ22/n) \mu _ { 1 } - \mu _ { 2 } \text { and variance } \left(σ _ { 1 } ^ { 2 } / m + \sigma _ { 2 } ^ { 2 } / n \right) \text {. }
D) XˉYˉ\bar { X } - \bar { Y }
Is an unbiased estimator of μ1μ2\mu _ { 1 } - \mu _ { 2 }
)
E) All of the above statements are true.
