Consider a 2-dimensional localization system based on sample mean estimator. As sume N number of measurements are performed. The measurement errors in both dimension follow i.i.d. zero-mean Gaussian distribution with variance of 2 = N. Find the probability that the estimator error does not exceed = 2ln2.
Added by Carla H.
Step 1
The measurement errors in both dimensions are independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) with a zero-mean Gaussian distribution and a variance of \( \sigma^2 = 2 \). We need to find the probability that the estimator error does not exceed \( \epsilon = 2 \ln Show more…

For n random variables Xi, i = 1,...,n, i.i.d. with expected value u and variance σ2 find the value of n that ensures, with probability 99 %, that the mean of a sample of the variables is at most 2 standard deviations away from the true mean μ, (the standard deviation is the of the sample mean).

Let X be a continuous random variable. We know that X takes values between 0 and ∞, but we do not know its distribution or its mean and variance; although we know that its variance is at most 4. We are interested in estimating the mean of X, which we denote by h. To estimate h, we take i.i.d. samples X1, X2, ..., Xn, which all have the same distribution as X, and compute the sample mean H = (X1 + X2 + ... + Xn)/n. Express your answers for this part in terms of h and using standard notation. E[H] Given the available information, the smallest upper bound for Var(H) that we can assert/guarantee is: Var(H) < 4/n 2. Calculate the smallest possible value of n such that the standard deviation of H is guaranteed to be at most 0.01. This minimum value of n is: n > 40000 3. We would like to be at least 96% sure that our estimate is within 0.02 of the true mean h. Using the Chebyshev inequality, calculate the minimum value of n that will achieve this. This minimum value of n is: n > 2401

Suppose a random variable x follows a normal distribution of N(1, (13)^2). Let z = 9x^2 - 12x + 4, compute µz = E(z). [Hint: a^2x^2 + 2abx + b^2 = (ax + b)^2 and use the property of the normal distribution and Chi-square distribution.] Suppose Xn = {x1, x2, ..., xn} is a sample with n observations drawn from the distribution of x in (a). For each observation xi, you can compute the corresponding zi according to the relation in (a). With {z1, z2, ..., zn}, you can then calculate ¯zn = (1/n) Σni=1 zi as the mean estimate of z. For a sample size of n = 5, draw a random sample Xn and compute an absolute error of the mean estimate for z according to e5,(1) = |z¯5,(1) - µz|. Discard your sample of Xn and redraw a new 5-observation sample for Xn. Compute and denote your second round error estimate as e5,(2). Repeat the exercise 100 times. You need to report your average error, e¯5 = (e5,(1) + e5,(2) + ... + e5,(100))/100. Repeat (b) for n = 10, 100, and n = 500, respectively. With respect to the Law of Large Numbers, what can you say?
