. . . , Xn ∼ Exp(λ).
(a) Give the definition of the sample mean estimator and sample
variance estimator. [3]
(c) Give the definition of an unbiased estimator, and show that
the sample mean estimator is unbiased for θ = 1/λ. [5]
(d) State the central limit theorem (proof not required).

(e) Determine the Gaussian distribution that may be used to
approximate the sampling distribution of the sample mean estimator
for the exponential statistical
