Consider a binomial random variable x given by (2.9), with prior distribution for u given by the beta distribution (2.13), and suppose we have observed m occurrences of x = 1 and l occurrences of x = 0. show that the posterior mean value of x lies between the prior mean and the maximum likelihood estimate for u. to do this, show that the posterior mean can be written as lambda times the prior mean plus (1 - lambda) times the maximum likelihood estimate, where 0 < = lambda < = 1. this illustrates the concept of the posterior distribution being a compromise between the prior distribution and the maximum likelihood solution

To find the extreme values of a function f(x.y) on a curve x-x(t), y y(t), treat f as a function of the single variable t and use the chain rule to find where df/dt is zero. in any other single-variable case, the extreme values of f are then found among the values at the critical points (points where df/dt is zero or fails to exist), and endpoints of the parameter domain. find the absolute maximum and minimum values of the following function on the given curves. use the parametric equations x=2cos t, y 2 sin t functions: curves: i) the semicircle x4,y20 i) the quarter circle x2+y-4, x20, y20 b, g(x,y)=xy
