Question
Let the random variable X follow a uniform distribution in the interval [0,0]. Then the
density function of X is
if 0<x<0
0, otherwise.
Consider a random sample of size n from this population.
(a) From the likelihood function of , argue that its maximum likelihood estimator is
the nth order statistic (Y₂).
f(x; 0) =
(b) Is the estimator in part (a) unbiased? If not, find an unbiased estimator of and
denote it by ₁. [Hint: Derive the distribution of Y₁-]
