Abstract:	Let x be a random variable having the normal distribution with mean μ and variance c²μ², where c is a known constant. The maximum likelihood estimation of μ when the lowest r₁ and the highest r₂ sample values censored have been given the asymptotic variance of the maximum likelihood estimator is obtained.

Keywords:	coefficient of variation maximum likelihood estimator censored observations normal distribution type I censoring
