Let θ be an unknown constant. Let W1,…,Wn be independent exponential random variables each with parameter 1. Let Xi=θ+Wi.

What is the maximum likelihood estimate of θ based on a single observation X1=x1? Enter your answer in terms of x1 (enter as 'x_1') using standard notation.

θ^ML(x1)= x_1 - correct

What is the maximum likelihood estimate of θ based on a sequence of observations (X1,…,Xn)=(x1,…,xn)?
θ^ML(x1,…,xn)=

You have been asked to construct a confidence interval of the particular form [Θ^−c,Θ^], where Θ^=mini{Xi} and c is a constant that we need to choose. For n=10, how should the constant c be chosen so that we have a 95% confidence interval? (Give the smallest possible value of c.) Your answer should be accurate to 3 decimal places.

c=

please solve this problem guys

anyone there who can present the solution

Please, help

c = 0.098

c = 0.098 wrong.

anyone got maximum likelihood estimate of è based on a sequence of observations?

maximum likelihood estimator is mini{Xi}

Anyone got right answer for c = ?

Might help for c:

P(minXi<a) means
1-P(minXi>a) which means
1-P(allXi>a).
