The water quality of a river was investigated by taking 15 water samples and recording the counts of a particular bacteria for each sample, where ?? is the number of bacteria in sample ?? and the ??’s are assumed to be independent and follow a Poisson ( ?oi(?) ) distribution. The data are as follows: {27, 24, 25, 21, 30, 22, 20, 22, 29, 19, 19, 22, 23, 36, 19}

1. Find a point estimate for the population mean number of bacteria in the water using maximum likelihood estimation.

2. Use R to plot the log-likelihood function with the maximum likelihood estimate highlighted.

3. Show that the maximum likelihood estimator of ? is a consistent estimator.

4. Show that the maximum likelihood estimator of ? achieves the Cramer-Rao lower bound.

5. Derive the asymptotic distribution of ? ^, the MLE of ?.

6. Find an approximate 95% confidence interval for ? using the Wald method

To investigate water quality, in early September 2016, the Ohio Department of Health took water samples at 24 beaches on Lake Erie in Erie County. Those samples were tested for fecal coliform, which is the E.coli bacteria found in human and animal feces. An unsafe level of fecal coliform means there is a higher chance that disease‑causing bacteria are present and more risk that a swimmer will become ill if she or he should accidentally ingest some of the water....

On a day when the water is flowing relatively gently, water in the Niagara River is moving horizontally at 4.5 m/s before shooting over Niagara Falls. After moving over the edge, the water drops 53 m to the water below. A) If we ignore air resistance, how much time does it take for the water to go from the top of the falls to the bottom? B) How far does the water move horizontally during this time?
