A well-functioning refrigerator from Rhett's Refrigeration maintains a temperature in C described by a Uniform (1,3) random variable. When the compressor is faulty, the temperature in C is instead described by an Exponential (13) random variable. (a) Let Ho be the "no-alaim" hypothesis of a well-functioning refrigerator and Hi the "alarm" hypothesis of a faulty compressor. Let Y be a temperature measurement in C. What are the likelihood functions for the temperature? (b) For what set of observations Y = y does the maximum likelihood decision rule result in deciding to sound the alarm (declare the compressor faulty)
