Suppose a measurement is made on some physical characteristic whose value is known, and let X denote the resulting measurement error. For an unbiased measuring instrument or technique, the mean value of X is 0. Assume that any particular measurement error is normally distributed with variance s2. Let X1, . . . Xn be a random sample of measurement errors. a. Obtain the method of moments estimator of s2.b. Obtain the maximum likelihood estimator of s2.

step-by-step explanation:

0.50 , 0.75

step-by-step explanation:

step-by-step explanation:

the triangles are similar. therefore the corresponding sides are in proportion:

              cross multiply

            divide both sides by 32

the equation of the parallel line would be y = 2x + 9

step-by-step explanation:

to start we need to find the slope of the original line. we can do that by looking at the coefficient of x, which is 2

since the slope of the original line is 2 and parallel lines have the same slope, we know the new line will also have 2 slope. now we can use that along with the point given in point-slope form to get the find equation.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 5 = 2(x + 2)

y - 5 = 2x + 4

y = 2x + 9
