Unbiased estimator problem

Question

Let $X_1, X_2,\dots, X_n$ be a sample of size $n$ from a distribution with unknown mean $−\infty<\mu<\infty$, and unknown variance $\sigma^2 > 0$.

Show that the $Y = (X_1 + 2X_2 + 3X_3 +\cdots+ nX_n) / (1 + 2 + 3+\cdots+n )$ is an unbiased estimator of $\mu$.

Answer 1

Expectation is linear: $\mathbb E(U+V)=\mathbb EU+\mathbb EV$ and $\mathbb EaU=a\mathbb EU$.

Application of that here leads to: $\mathbb EY=\mu$.
