unbiased estimator for ? and provide an estimate for the

Chapter 8, Problem 36E

(choose chapter or problem)

If  \(Y_{1^{\prime}} Y_{2}, \ldots, Y_{n}\) denote a random sample from an exponential distribution with mean \(\theta\), then \(\theta\) and \(V\left(Y_{i}\right)=\theta^{2}\). Thus, \(E\left(Y^{-}\right)=\theta\) and \(V\left(Y^{-}\right)=\theta^{2} / n\), or \(\sigma_{y^{-}}=\theta / \sqrt{n}\) Suggest an unbiased estimator for  and provide an estimate for the standard error of your estimator.
