Concept explainers
Let X represent the error in making a measurement of a physical characteristic or property (e.g., the boiling point of a particular liquid). It is often reasonable to assume that E(X) = 0 and that X has a
(where we have used θ in place of σ2). Now suppose that n independent measurements are made, resulting in measurement errors X1 = x1, X2 = x2,..., Xn = xn. Obtain the mle of θ.
