Let {Y_1, Y_2, …, Y_n} be a random sample from a population with a normal distribution with mean mu and variance sigma^2. Show that the sample mean is an unbiased estimator of the population mean. Explain what is meant by an efficient estimator and comment on the efficiency of the sample mean as an estimator of the population mean. Briefly describe two different approaches for estimating population parameters using a sample of data.
