Step 1
However, the specific probability distribution or likelihood function is not provided in the text. To proceed, we will assume a general form for the likelihood function \(L(\theta; x)\) and derive the Fisher information step-by-step. ### Show more…

Let $X$ be $N(0, \theta), 0<\theta<\infty$. (a) Find the Fisher information $I(\theta)$. (b) If $X_{1}, X_{2}, \ldots, X_{n}$ is a random sample from this distribution, show that the mle of $\theta$ is an efficient estimator of $\theta$. (c) What is the asymptotic distribution of $\sqrt{n}(\widehat{\theta}-\theta) ?$
