- Let \( X_1, X_2, \ldots, X_{10} \) be a random sample from a \( U(-\theta, \theta) \) distribution, where \( \theta \in (0, \infty) \). Let \( X_{(10)} = \max \{ X_1, X_2, \ldots, X_{10} \} \) and \( X_{(1)} = \min \{ X_1, X_2, \ldots, X_{10} \} \). If the observed values of \( X_{(10)} \) and \( X_{(1)} \) are 8 and -10, respectively, then the maximum likelihood estimate of \( \theta \) is equal to __________ (answer in integer).

- Suppose that the lifetimes (in months) of bulbs manufactured by a company have an \( \text{Exp}(\lambda) \) distribution, where \( \lambda > 0 \). A random sample of size 10 taken from the bulbs manufactured by the company yields the sample mean lifetime \( \bar{x} = 3.52 \) months. Then the uniformly minimum variance unbiased estimate of \( \frac{1}{\lambda} \) based on this sample is equal to __________ months (round off to 2 decimal places).

- A biased coin, with probability of head as \( p \), is tossed \( m \) times independently. It is known that \( p \in \left\{ \frac{1}{4}, \frac{3}{4} \right\} \) and \( m \in \{3, 5\}. \) If 3 heads are observed in these \( m \) tosses, then which of the following statements is correct?

- In a store, the daily demand for milk (in litres) is a random variable having Exp(λ) distribution, where λ > 0. At the beginning of the day, the store purchases c (> 0) litres of milk at a fixed price b (> 0) per litre. The milk is then sold to the customers at a fixed price s (> b) per litre. At the end of the day, the unsold milk is discarded. Then the value of c that maximizes the expected net profit for the store equals

- Suppose that the weights (in kgs) of six months old babies, monitored at a healthcare facility, have \( N(\mu, \sigma^2) \) distribution, where \( \mu \in \mathbb{R} \) and \( \sigma > 0 \) are unknown parameters. Let \( X_1, X_2, \ldots, X_9 \) be a random sample of the weights of such babies.
