If $\mathrm{A}^{\prime}$ is a binomial random variable, show that (a) $P=X / n$ is an unbiased estimator of $p ;$ (b) $P^{\prime}=\frac{X+\sqrt{n} / 2}{n+w}$ is a biased estimator of $p$.
Suppose that $Y_{1}, Y_{2}, \ldots, Y_{n}$ denote a random sample of size $n$ from a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and variance $1 .$ Consider the first observation $Y_{1}$ as an estimator for $\mu$ a. Show that $Y_{1}$ is an unbiased estimator for $\mu$. b. Find $P\left(\left|Y_{1}-\mu\right| \leq 1\right)$ c. Look at the basic definition of consistency given in Definition 9.2. Based on the result of part (b), is $Y_{1}$ a consistent estimator for $\mu$ ?
