Partition the likelihood ratio test statistic into 6 independent 1 df components. What conclusions can you draw from these components?
What is the value of the maximum likelihood estimate, θ, of θ based on these data? Justify your answer. What does the value of θ suggest about the value of θ for this biased die compared with the value of θ associated with a fair, unbiased, die?
Show that L′(θ) = Cθ394(1 −2θ)604(395 −2000θ).

- Suppose that you want to estimate the mean monthly gross income of all households in your local community. You decide to estimate this population parameter by calling 150 randomly selected residents and asking each individual to report the household’s monthly income.
