Quiz 2, Stat 4158, Spring 2021 Time: 28 minutes (18 minutes to answer and 10 minutes to scan and upload answers.) Instructions: This quiz is open book and notes. Answer the following questions with full and clear explanations. Scan and upload your work as one pdf file. 1. Let Y1, . . . , Yn be a random sample from a normal distribution with mean 5 and unknown variance σ2. Thus, the population pdf is f(y|σ) = 1√ 2πσ e− 1 2σ2 (y−5)2 , −∞ < y=""><∞, σ=""> 0. (a) Considering σ as the parameter, give the likelihood function. Specify the argument and the domain of the function. (b) Obtain the maximum likelihood estimators of σ and σ2. (c) Derive a method of moments estimator of σ2. [You may use the identity: V (Y ) = E(Y 2)− {E(Y )}2.] (d) Can the method of moments estimator of σ2 yield a negative value? Can the MLE be negative?
