ISI MStat 2020 PSB Problem 6
This post discuses the problem 6 of the ISI MStat 2020 PSB Entrance Exam.
Suppose individuals are classified into three categories C1,C2 and C3.
Let p2,(1−p)2 and 2p(1−p) be the respective population proportions, where p∈(0,1). A random sample of N individuals is selected from the population and the category of each selected individual recorded.
For i=1,2,3, let Xi denote the number of individuals in the sample belonging to category Ci. Define U=X1+X32.
Is \(U\) sufficient for \(p\) ? Justify your answer.
Show that the mean squared error of \(\frac{U}{N}\) is \(\frac{p(1-p)}{2 N}\).
