Give an example to illustrate efficiency of estimators.
Two balls are chosen randomly from an urn containing 8 white, 4 black, and 2 orange balls. Suppose that we win $2 for each black ball selected and we lose $1 for each white ball selected. Let X denote our winnings. Find the expectation E[X] of X.

3. Suppose that ( X ) is a continuous random variable whose probability density function is given by: [ f(x)=left{egin{array}{ccc} mathrm{C}left(1-x^{2} ight) & ext { for } & -1<x<1 \ 0 & ext { otherwise } end{array} ight. ] (1) What is the value of ( mathrm{C} ) ? (2) Find ( Pleft(0<mathrm{X}<frac{1}{2} ight) ). (3) Find the variance ( operatorname{Var}(X) . quad(15 %) )
3. Suppose that X is a continuous random variable whose probability density function is given by: f(x) = { C(1 - x^2) for -1 < x < 1 { 0 otherwise (1) What is the value of C? (2) Find P(0 < X < 1/2). (3) Find the variance Var(X). (15%)
