Suppose U ∼ Uniform([0, 1]) and the conditional distribution of X given that U = p is Binomial(n, p). Find E(X) and E(X^2). (Hint: You can compute both easier by using the law of iterated expectations. Furthermore, if you need to compute E(X^2|U = p), you can compute this easily using the variance formula).

An electrochemical engineer has manufactured a new type of fuel cell (a type of battery)which has to undergo testing to prove its duration: the time it takes to go from fullycharged to completely uncharged, under a fixed nominal load. From the computational simulation models she has, the variance of the duration is σ2 = 4 h2 (hours squared)but she wants to estimate the mean duration time μ. To achieve this she is determinedto do the tests multiple times in independent but identical conditions. Can you findwhat is the smallest number of these tests that she has to do in order for her estimatedmean duration to be within ±0.2 h tolerance of the true mean with 95% certainty
