Required expressions are,

E[w(x,y,z)]=w(μx,μy,μs)Var(w¯)=(wx)2σmx2+(wy)2σmy2+(wz)2σmx2σm=(wx)2σmx2+(wy)2σmy2+(wz)2σmz2rw=(wx)2rx2+(wy)2ry2+(wz)2rz2

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

The equation,(10.10) i.e.,role="math" localid="1664361601057" w(x,y)w(μx,μy)+(wx)(xμx)+(wy)(yμy)

02

Definition of Power series. 

An infinite series is a polynomial with an infinite number of elements that can be thought of as a power series.

03

Step 3:Expand function w  with Taylor’s series. 

w(x,y,z)w(μx,μy)+(wx)(xμx)+(wy)(yμy)+(wz)(zμz)

04

Calculate mean and variance value of function w.

Calculate expected value.

E[w(x,y,z)]w(μx,μy,μz)+(wx)[E(x)μx]+(wy)[E(y)μy]+(wz)[E(z)μz]=w(μx,μy,μs)

Calculate variance.

Var(w¯)=Var[w(x¯,y¯,z¯)]=Var[w(μx,μy,μz)+(wx)(x¯μz)+(wy)(y¯μy)+(wz)(z¯μz)]=(wx)2σmx2+(wy)2σmy2+(wz)2σmx2

05

Calculate standard error.

Calculate standard error value.

σm=Var(w¯)=(wx)2σmx2+(wy)2σmy2+(wz)2σmz2

06

Calculate probable error with confidence interval.

Calculate probable error value.

rw=Iσmw=I(wx)2σmx2+(wy)2σmy2+(wz)2σmz2=(wx)2(Iσmx)2+(wy)2(Iσmy)2+(wz)2(Iσmz)2=(wx)2rx2+(wy)2ry2+(wz)2rz2

Hence, required expressions are,

E[w(x,y,z)]=w(μx,μy,μs)Var(w¯)=(wx)2σmx2+(wy)2σmy2+(wz)2σmx2σm=(wx)2σmx2+(wy)2σmy2+(wz)2σmz2rw=(wx)2rx2+(wy)2ry2+(wz)2rz2
