Let U1, ....U5 be independent and standard uniform distibuted random variables given by P(U1 ≤ x) = x, 0 < x < 1 1.  Compute the moment generating function E(e sU ) of the random variable U1. 2.  Compute the moment generating function of the random variable Y = aU1 + U2 + U3 + U4 + U5 with a > 0 unknown. 3.  Compute E(Y ) and V ar(Y ). 4.  As an estimator for the unknow value θ = a we migth use as an estimator θb = 2 n Xn i=1 Yi − 4 = 2Y − 4. with Yi independent and identically distributed having the same cdf as the random variable Y discussed in part 2. Compute E(θb) and V ar(θb) and explain why this estimator is sometimes not very useful. 5.Give an upperbound on the probability P(| θb− a |> ) for every  > 0.(Hint:Use Chebyshevs inequality!)

Let U1,..U5 be independent and standard uniform distibuted random variables given by
