(c) Derive the posterior density for u under the normal likelihood N(μ, o²) and Jeffreys
μ
prior for u. Plot the density.
(d) Simulate 1,000 draws from the posterior derived in (c) and plot a histogram of the
simulated values.
(e) Let 0 = exp(μ). Find the posterior density of analytically and plot the density.
