Question
The length of a phone call is assumed to be uniformly distributed over the interval
(0,0 + 1),
where O is the parameter one would like to estimate. Consider a random sample
X1,..., Xn
of the lengths of n phone calls, and denote its sample mean as X. Calculate the bias
of X, when using it as a point estimator for 0.
