Question: Consider a data set about teacher workload in an area, the number of hours required to work at school (hrwork) per week were recorded. hrwork.csv
Consider a data set about teacher workload in an area, the number of hours required to work at school (hrwork) per week were recorded. "hrwork.csv" contains the data set. A normal distribution N(,2) is assumed for these hrwork data. Conduct a Bayesian analysis for this data set to make inferences about the mean , and variance 2. Suppose the following conjugate prior is assigned:
2 inverse gamma(3, 36) |2 N(40,2/0.1)
dat2 = read.csv("teachers.csv", header = TRUE) y2 = dat2$hrwork
- (1)(10 points) Draw independent samples from the posterior distribution.
- (2)(5 points) Report 95% equal tails credible intervals for both and 2.
- (3)(5 points) If another teacher is selected in this area and ask the same question, what is the probability that the number of hours required to work at school is greater than 38?
