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

Let $x_{1}, x_{2}, \cdots, x_{n}$ be independent random variables, each with density function $f(x)$ expected value $\mu,$ and variance $\sigma^{2} .$ Define the sample mean by $\bar{x}=\sum_{i=1}^{n} x_{i} .$ Show that $\left.E(\bar{x})=\mu, \text { and } \operatorname{Var}(\bar{x})=\sigma^{2} / n . \text { (See Problems } 5.9,5.13, \text { and } 6.15 .\right)$.
