Extracted text: We argued in Example 7.5 that when X1, ..., X, is a random sample from a uniform distribution on [0, 0], the estimator Example 7.7 п+1 max(X1, ..., X„) n is unbiased for 0 (we previously denoted this estimator by 04). This is not the only unbiased estimator of 0. The expected value of a uniformly distributed rv is just the midpoint of the interval of positive density, so E(X;) = 0/2. This implies that E(X) = 0/2, from which E(2X) = 0. That is, the estimator Ô2 If X is uniformly distributed on the interval [A, B], then V(X) = o (Exercise 23 in Chapter 4). Thus, in our situation, V(X;) = 0²/12, V(X) o2/n = 0 /(12n), and V(Ô2) = V(2X) = 4V(X) = 0² /(3n). The results of Exercise 50 can be used to show that V(01)= 0²/[n(n+2)].
