(choose chapter or problem)

Suppose that two independent random samples of n1 and n2 observations are selected from normal populations. Further, assume that the populations possess a common variance 2. Let S2 i = ni j=1(Yi j Yi)2 ni 1 , i = 1, 2. a Show that S2 p, the pooled estimator of 2 (which follows), is unbiased: S2 p = (n1 1)S2 1 + (n2 1)S2 2 n1 + n2 2 . b Find V(S2 p).
