Central Limit Theorem (CLT) and Uniformly Minimum Variance Unbiased Estimator (UMVUE) By: Bindeshwar Singh Kushwaha Institute: PostNetwork Academy Question 1 Suppose \( X_1, X_2, \dots \) is an i.i.d. sequence of random variables with common variance \( \sigma^2 > 0 \). Define: \[ Y_n = \frac{1}{n} \sum_{i=1}^{n} X_{2i-1}, \quad Z_n = \frac{1}{n} \sum_{i=1}^{n} X_{2i} \]

Random Variables and Probability Distributions Introduction to Random Variables In many experiments, we are interested in a numerical characteristic associated with outcomes of a random experiment. A random variable (RV) is a function that assigns a numerical value to each outcome of a random experiment. Example: Consider tossing a fair die twice and defining \(

Bayes’ Theorem and Examples Formula The formula for Bayes’ Theorem is given by: $$ P(E_i | A) = \frac{P(E_i) P(A | E_i)}{\sum_{j=1}^{n} P(E_j) P(A | E_j)} $$ Key Terminology \(E_i\) are hypotheses or possible causes. \(P(E_i)\) is the prior probability of \(E_i\). \(P(E_i | A)\) is the posterior probability of \(E_i\). The denominator ensures
