a) Find the CRLB for the variances of unbiased estimators of m.
b) Find the CRLB for the variances of unbiased estimators of theta = e^(-m).
c) Find the UMVUE of m.
d) Find the MLE theta(hat) of theta.
e) Is theta(hat) an unbiased estimator of theta?
f) Is theta(hat) asymptotically unbiased?
g) Show that theta~ = [(n-1)/n]^(sum Xi) is an unbiased estimator of theta.
h) Find Var(theta~) and compare to the CRLB of b).
