(a) Show that if W1,…,Wn are independent random variables with common Exp(1) distribution, then ∑i=1nWi∼Γ(n,1). [Hint: If W∼Γ(α,λ) then EetW={λ/(λ−t)}α if t<λ and ∞ otherwise.]
(b) Show that if X∼U(0,1) then −logX∼Exp(1).
(c) State the Neyman-Pearson lemma.
(d) Let X1,…,Xn be independent random variables with common density proportional to xθ1(0,1)(x) for θ⩾0. Find a most powerful test of size α of H0:θ=0 against H1:θ=1, giving the critical region in terms of a quantile of an appropriate gamma distribution. Find a uniformly most powerful test of size α of H0:θ=0 against H1:θ>0.
