All cumulative distribution function follows a U[0,1]
This theorem is named "integral transformation theorem "
As you can see after few passages you get
$$F_Y(y)=F_X[F_X^{-1}(y)]$$
now it is evident that applying both $F$ and $F^{-1}$ to any $y$ they can …

normal distribution candy problem
The probability to mark the candies exactly of 5 older kids is the probability to chose 5 older kids among the 35 total, say
$$\frac{\binom{15}{5}\binom{20}{0}}{\binom{35}{5}}$$

Conditional Probability with Poisson's variable
Note that
$$P(S|S>0)=\frac{1}{1-e^{-0.3}}\frac{e^{-0.3}0.3^s}{s!}$$
Thus
$$P(S=1|S>0)=\frac{0.3}{e^{0.3}-1}\approx 85.75\%$$

what is the distribution for a chi-squired variable divided by its degrees of freedom?
No, it does not. I do not know why you think so.
As you know
$$Y\sim \chi_{(m)}^2=Gamma\Bigg(\frac{m}{2};\frac{1}{2}\Bigg)$$
Thus
$$\frac{1}{m}Y\sim Gamma\Bigg(\frac{m}{2};\frac{m}{2}\Bigg)$$

What is the first moment of ML estimator theta=n/sum(xi)
I do not know if your really have to calculate this expectation....but reading the title, if you are only interested in detecting if your MLE is unbiased, the answer is the following
By Jensen's inequ …

Calculating Minimum Exam Score to Pass a Course
so I need to score 15% or higher on the exam? Or am I missing something?
Your answer is not "totally" to waste.
first you did not take 25% in the project score but you took $0.3\times0.85=25.5\%$

Cramér-Rao Lower Bound-Exponential distribution
-$n$ random sample you get
$$V(T)\geq \frac{k^2\theta^{2k}}{n}$$
b) Observe that $T=\overline{X}_n$ is unbiased estimator for $\theta$ and it is a function of $S=\Sigma_iX_i$, complete and sufficient statistics … can be useful to calculate the expectation of
$$T_k=[\Sigma_iX_i]^k$$
This is easy because $\Sigma_iX_i$ has a known distribution (it's a gamma) and $T_k$ is function of $S$, complete and sufficient statistics …

Statistics problem about computing UMVUE(Uniformly Minimum Variance Unbiased Estimator)
There are several ways to show that $T=\overline{X}_n$ is the UMVUE for $p$
This is one; I chose this because it allow us to do further considerations about that important estimator:
$$\mathbb{E}[\ove …

a best critical region of two parameters in normal distribution
You can manipulate your expression finding the following critical region
$$\Sigma_i \left(X_i+\frac{1}{3}\right)^2 \geq k^*$$
Now, under $H_0$, the distribution is known: it's a noncentral chi-squared …

Cramer-Rao lower bound for exponential distribution
Yes you did.
the lower bound for unbiased estimators of $\lambda$ is $V(T)\geq\frac{\lambda^2}{n}$
Using Lehmann-Scheffé Lemma you can find the UMVUE estimator of $\lambda$
$\hat{\lambda}=\frac{n-1 …

Exponential distribution does not belong to a location - scale family. Actually it belongs to a "scale family"
Definition
A scale family of distributions has densities of the form

Bayesian Reliability

Determine the values of $\mu$ and $\sigma^2$.
You know that
$$P(X\leq 4)=0.8413$$
Knowing also that $E(X^2)-\mu^2=\sigma^2$ you get
$$P\left(Z \leq\frac{4-\mu}{\sqrt{10-\mu^2} } \right)=0.8413$$
Using the tables you get
$$\frac{4-\mu}{\sqrt{10-\m …

Positive parameters for Gamma random variables
The gamma density is the following, for $x>0$
$$f_X(x,a,b)=\frac{b^a}{\Gamma(a)}x^{a-1}e^{-bx}$$
it is easy to prove that its integral cannot converge if $a,b$ are not both positive

What is the expected value of the estimator?
Any estimator is a function of (only of) the data. thus tipically
$$\hat{\theta}=t(\mathbf{x})$$
and thus, by definition,
$$\mathbb{E}[\hat{\theta}]=\int_T tf(t)dt$$
Example...
given a simple random …
