For a sample of size n from a normal distribution and given the mean of the sample and the standard deviation of the distribution, find the MLE for the mean. Also the expected information and a confidence interval for the mean.

For a sample of size n from a Poisson distribution $\operatorname{Poisson}(\lambda)$ and given the mean of the sample, find the MLE for $\lambda$. Also find the expected information and a confidence interval for $\lambda$.

For a sample of size n from an Exponential distribution $\operatorname{Exponential}(\lambda)$  and given the mean of the sample, find the MLE for $\lambda$. Also find the expected information and a confidence interval for $\lambda$.

For a sample of size n from a normal distribution, given mean of the sample mean and the standard deviation , find the t-statistic corresponding to a null hypothesis $\mu=m$ and a given confidence level. Check if the result is significant at this level.
