Calculating Variance $V\big\{-\frac{2}{\sum_1^n x_i}\big\}, \; X_i \sim \Gamma(2,1/\theta)$

40 Views Asked by At

I have some trouble calculating the following variance :

$$V\bigg\{-\frac{2}{\sum_1^n x_i}\bigg\}$$

where $X_i$ follow the Gamma Distribution $\sim \Gamma(2,1/\theta)$.

Attempt :

$X_i$ are independent and then :

$$V[X]=\frac{2}{\theta^2}$$

$$V\bigg\{-\frac{2}{\sum_1^n x_i}\bigg\} = \frac{2^2}{\sum_1^n V(x_i)}= \frac{4}{2n\theta^{-2}}=\frac{2\theta^2}{n}$$

But the correct result should be :

$$V = \frac{\theta^2}{2n}$$

Where is my mistake ?
