• Sample size: n = 5
• Sample mean: 3.4 hours
• Sample characteristics: Close to prior expectation

Likelihood Function:

• Model: Normal likelihood with known variance
• Parameters: μ (unknown), σ = 1.0 (known)
• Computation: Standard normal likelihood calculation
• Efficiency: Conjugate prior enables analytical solution

Step 3: Posterior Computation

Conjugate Analysis:

• Prior: Normal(3, 1)

• Posterior: Normal distribution (analytically derived)
• Computation: Exact mathematical solution

Posterior Parameters:

• Mean: Weighted average of prior and data
• Variance: Reduced uncertainty compared to prior
• Interpretation: Updated beliefs about average study time
• Validation: Results consistent with both prior and data

Step 4: Inference and Interpretation

Posterior Mean:

• Value: Approximately 3.3 hours
• Interpretation: Best estimate of average study time

• Comparison: Updated from prior mean of 3.0 hours

Credible Interval:
