Let X_1, ... X_6 be a random sample from a random distribution that is conditionally Bernoulli with parameter p for a given p. The parameter p itself follows a BETA(2, 1). Construct a Bayes hypothesis to test the null hypothesis of p < 1/2 against the alternative hypothesis of p > 1/2. What will be your conclusion on this test if the sample average is 0.5?

Consider two random variables X and Y. The covariance between these two variables is 1.00. We can conclude that there is a perfect positive linear relationship between the two variables. Is this statement true or false? If your answer is false, give reasons.
K Conduct a test at the α = 0.05 level of significance by determining (a) the null and alternative hypotheses, (b) the test statistic, and (c) the P-value. Assume the samples were obtained independently from a large population using simple random sampling. Test whether p₁> P2. The sample data are x₁ = 116, n₁ = 244, x2 = 132, and n₂ = 313.

In comparing two regression models that were developed using the same data, we might say that the model with the higher R2 value will provide the most accurate predictions. Is this true? Why or why not? If not, what would be the better parameter to use to compare two regression models? Provide at least one example to illustrate your arguments.
