Unbiased estimator of $P(X\leq 2)$

89 Views Asked by At

We are given a random sample of size $n$ from an exponential distribution: $f(x;\theta)= \frac{1}{\theta} \exp{(-x/\theta)} I_{\{0,\infty\}}(x)$. Where $I_{\{0,\infty\}}(x)$ is the indicator function.

Then, my book says that it is "clear" that $I_{\{0,2\}}(x)$ is an unbiased estimator of $P(X\leq2)$.

How is it that this is so clear?

Thanks!
