In the situation of Example 8.5.11, suppose that we observe X1 = 4.7 and X2 = 5.3.

Question:

In the situation of Example 8.5.11, suppose that we observe X1 = 4.7 and X2 = 5.3.
a. Find the 50% confidence interval described in Example 8.5.11.
b. Find the interval of possible θ values that are consistent with the observed data.
c. Is the 50% confidence interval larger or smaller than the set of possible θ values?
d. Calculate the value of the random variable Z = Y2 − Y1 as described in Example 8.5.11.
e. Use Eq. (8.5.15) to compute the conditional probability that |2 − θ| < 0.1 given Z equal to the value computed in part (d).
