Let X denote the proportion of allotted time that a randomly selected student spends working on a certain aptitude test. Suppose the
where −1 < θ. A random sample of ten students yields data x1 = .92, x2 = .79, x3 = .90, x4 = .65, x5 = .86, x6 = .47, x7 = .73, x8 = .97, x9 = .94, x10 = .77.
- a. Use the method of moments to obtain an estimator of θ, and then compute the estimate for this data.
- b. Obtain the maximum likelihood estimator of θ, and then compute the estimate for the given data.
