Consider again the conditions of Exercise 3. Suppose that after a certain statistician has observed that there were three defective items among the 100 items selected at random, the posterior distribution that she assigns to θ is a beta distribution for which the mean is 2/51 and the variance is 98/[(51)2(103)]. What prior distribution had the statistician assigned to θ? |
