Mathematics · Estimation Theory
Let X1, X2, ..., Xn be independent and identically distributed random variables with the probability density function: f(x | θ) = e-(x-θ) if x ≥ θ, and 0 otherwise where θ ∈ R is the unknown parameter. Let Y = min(X1, X2, ..., Xn). Which of the following is a confidence interval for θ with the confidence coefficient (1-α), where α ∈ (0, 1)?
- 1(Y + (1/n)ln(α/2), Y + (1/n)ln(1 - α/2))
- 2(Y + (2/n)ln(α/2), Y + (2/n)ln(1 - α/2))
- 3(Y + (1/2n)ln(α), Y)
- 4(Y + (1/n)ln(α), Y)✓
Correct answer
(Y + (1/n)ln(α), Y)
