Step 1

First, we need to find the probability density function (pdf) of the given distribution. Since the given distribution is an exponential distribution with mean B and variance θ, we can write the pdf as: f(x|θ) = (1/θ) * exp(-x/θ) for x ≥ 0 Show more…

A random sample {X1,...,Xn} of size n is drawn from the distribution f(x|θ) = (1/θ) exp(-x/θ) (x ≥ 0), having mean θ and variance θ^2. a. Find θ̂_ML, the maximum likelihood estimator of θ. b. Compute the Fisher information for θ. c. What is the name of the 'large sample' distribution of θ̂_ML? What is its mean and variance in terms of θ? d. By considering √n (X̄ − θ)/θ, construct a 'large sample' 90% confidence interval for θ using the data: 2.9 6.8 7.0 14.3 2.3 5.5 2.9 24.2 3.4
