Solutions

Expert Solution

Let   be a random sample from the pdf or pmf . Then the statistics is sufficient for , iff we can factorize the joint  PDF and PMF of as
Where depends on but not on and depends on and on only through

In our problem    with pdf :

Join density function is given by:

Now let,


Cleraly   depends on but not on
But depends depends on and on only through

Hence factorization theorem implies    is sufficient Statistics for estimator
