Let X₁, X₂,...,Xn be a random sample of size, n from a normal distribution with mean, and variance, 5. a) b) c) Find the maximum likelihood estimator for 0. Is the estimator obtained in (a) unbiased? Show that the estimator obtained in (a) is a minimum variance unbiased estimator for the parameter, 0.
