Suppose that independent samples (of sizes ni) are taken

Chapter 7, Problem 39E

(choose chapter or problem)

Suppose that independent samples (of sizes \(\mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{i}}\)) are taken from each of k populations and that

population i is normally distributed with mean \(\mu \text { i }\) and variance

\(\sigma^{2}, \mathrm{i}=1,2, \ldots, \mathrm{k}\).That is,

all populations are normally distributed with the same variance but with (possibly) different means. Let \(\bar{X}_{i}\) and \(S_{i}^{2}, \mathrm{i}=1,2, \ldots, \mathrm{k}\) be the respective sample means and variances.

Let \(\theta=c_{1} \mu_{1}+c_{2} \mu_{2}+\cdots+c_{k} \mu_{k}\) , where

\(\mathrm{C}_{1}, \mathrm{C}_{2}, \ldots, \mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{k}}\) are given constants.

Give the distribution of \(\widehat{\theta}=c_{1} \bar{X}_{1}+c_{2} \bar{X}_{2}+\ldots+c_{k} \bar{X}_{k}\). Provide reasons for any claims that you make.Give the distribution of

\(\frac{S S E}{\sigma^{2}}\), Where  \(\text { SSE }=\sum_{i=1}^{k}\left(n_{i}-1\right) S_{i}^{2}\)

Provide reasons for any claims that you make.

Give the distribution of

\(\frac{\hat{\theta}-\theta}{\sqrt{\left(\frac{c_{1}^{2}}{n_{1}}+\frac{c_{2}^{2}}{n_{2}}+\cdots+\frac{c_{k}^{2}}{n_{k}}\right) \operatorname{MSE}}}\)    

Where

\(M S E=\frac{S S E}{n_{1}+n_{2}+\ldots+n_{k}-k}\)

Provide reasons for any claims that you make.
