Question: (2 marks)
Assume X is a Uniform random variable on the interval (- , ), where > 0 and is unknown.
A random sample of size n of X , denoted by X 1 , X 2 , …, X n , is obtained.
- Obtain E( X ) and E( X 2 ) and then use one of these to define a method of moments estimator of .
- Obtain E( X 4 ) and then use this to define a different method of moments estimator of .
