Question: Suppose the monthly unpaid balance on a Citicorp MasterCard is normally distributed with a mean of $1200 and standard deviation of $240. We want to show that the sample mean \(\bar{X}\) is an unbiased estimate of the population mean μ , and the sample variance s2 is an unbiased estimate of the population variance σ2. Note that you can generate observation from CITICORP accounts by using the formula
=NORMINV(RAND(),1200,240).Develop a simulation as follows:
- Generate 50 samples of five credit card balances each. Do not freeze the random numbers
- Calculate \(\bar{X}\) and s2 for each sample
- Show that \(\bar{X}\) average to a value near the actual mean of $1200
- Show that s2's average to a value near the true value σ2=2402.
