Mma43 - Mathematical Statistics

This document outlines the sections and questions for an exam on mathematical statistics. Section A contains 5 multiple choice questions testing concepts like probability density functions, distribution functions, independence tests, consistent estimates, and one-way classification. Section B requires answering 3 of 6 longer questions, covering topics like Fisher's Z distribution, the Kolmogorov-Smirnov theorem, properties of efficient estimates, most powerful tests, sequential probability ratio tests (SPRT), and the probability of observations approaching infinity.
