Bill Foster commented on Unbiased estimator for exponential distribution 5 years, 11 months ago

In part a) the answer is to be input as 1/Y*(1-1/n), or (1/Y)(1-1/n). If the answer is input as 1/Y(1-1/n) then NUMBAS considers this as 1 over the function value Y(1-1/n). Is it not the case that a warning is usually given if the function is not recognised?
