Consider the calorie count data described in Example 7.3.10 on page 400. Now assume that each observation has the normal distribution with unknown mean μ and unknown precision τ given the parameter (μ, τ). Use the normal-gamma conjugate prior distribution with prior hyperparameters μ0 = 0, λ0 = 1, α0 = 1, and β0 = 60. The value of s2n is 2102.9.
