HW2 Question 3 Clarification

---------------------------------------------------------
When calculating the Var($\hat\theta$) in part 4, what is the
difference between $\hat\theta$ and E[$\hat\theta$]. My
understanding is that E[$\hat\theta$] is the values we obtain
from the functions s1 and s2, but if that's the case I don't
know what theta hat would be.

E[$\hat\theta$] is the expected value or theoretical mean that
can be calculated by an integration in reality.
We need to simulate it empirically; that is,
we can use "mean()" function to obtain the "empirical" version
of E[$\hat\theta$]
based on the 1000 of variance values from your function s1 or
s2.
