Exercise: A simple CI
1/2 points (graded)
Let θ be an unknown parameter, and let X be uniform on the interval [θ−0.5,θ+0.5] .
Is [X−2,X+2] an 80% confidence interval?
YES correct
I form a confidence interval of the form [X−a,X+a] . What is the narrowest confidence interval of this type (i.e., what is the smallest possible choice of a ) if I want to have an 80% confidence interval?
a= ????
