I could use some help as im working through a practice/homework problem.
Let Let $X_1, X_2, ... X_n \overset{\text{iid}}\sim N(\mu,1)$, Find the UMVUE of $\theta = P(X_1 \leq c) $ where c is a known constant.
Let $\mathbf{X}= (X_1, X_2, ... X_n)$. Verify that $\sigma({\mathbf{X}}) = I_{X_I \leq c}$ is an unbiased estimator of $\theta$. Express $\theta$ in terms of the cumulative distribution function of a standard normal random variable.
Let $ \bar{X_n} = \frac{1}{n} \sum_{i=1}^n X_i$ prove that $(X_i - \bar{X_n})$ is an ancillary statistic. Then, using the results from this proof, establish that $(X_i - \bar{X_n})$ is independent of $ \bar{X_n}$
Using parts (a) and (b), derive the UMVUE of $\theta$
My Attempt:
1: $E_{\theta}[I_{X_I \leq c}] = P(X_1 \leq c)$ therefore $\sigma({\mathbf{X}})$ is unbiased.
2: We start with $\bar{X}_n \sim N(\mu, \frac{1}{n})$, and we can show by the properties of normal distributions \begin{align} (X_i - \bar{X_n}) \sim N(0,s), \text{where s is some constant} \end{align}
because $(X_i - \bar{X_n})$ does not depend on $\mu$ it is considered and ancillary statistic.
