Obtain an unbiased estimator of µ for a normal distribution with mean µ and variance s2.
Explain Bayesian estimation. [4+4] - The length of life of certain computers is approximately normally distributed with mean 800 hours and standard deviation 40 hours. If a random sample of 30 computers has an average life of 788 hours, test the null hypothesis µ=800 hours against the alternative that µ?800 hours at
