Let x1,x2,…,xn be a random sample from N(μ,σ2);
−∞<μ<∞,σ2>0, where both μ and σ2 are
unknown. Which of the following statements are correct?
I. μ^=xˉ and σ^2=n1∑i=1n(xi−xˉ)2
maximize the likelihood function L(μ,σ2;x).
II. μ^=xˉ and S2=n−11∑i=1n(xi−xˉ)2
maximize the likelihood function L(μ,σ2;x).
III. σ^2=n1∑i=1n(xi−xˉ)2 is an unbiased
estimator of σ2.
IV. S2=n−11∑i=1n(xi−xˉ)2 is an unbiased
estimator of σ2.
