(1 p ) n X i and h(y) = 1.
(c) If and 2 are both unknown, show that i 1Yi and i 1Yi are jointly sufficient for and 2.
n
[Thus, it follows that Y and S2 are also jointly sufficient for and 2.]
Solution:
For this exercise, the likelihood function is given by
1
( 2 ) n / 2 n
g ( y , ) exp
2 ny n 2
2 2
and h(y) (2 )
n / 2
n exp[ 21 in1 yi 2 ]

Since the second derivative of the log-likelihood function evaluated at Y is less than 0,
1 Y is the MLE for .
(b) By sampling distribution E ( ) and V ( ) / n .
(c) Since is unbiased and has variance that goes to 0 with increasing n, it is consistent.
