[5 Points] A prior is called a _______________________ prior for a likelihood function if the resulting posterior distribution is of the same family as the prior.

Emily often wakes up from sleep screaming and terrified. These awakenings tend to occur in the early morning hours, around 4-5am. Upon awakening, she regularly reports having a horrifying dream, often involving herself running away in the forest with an unidentified creature following her. Emily most likely suffers from:

You have cloned the gene for a human adipocyte protein, which you suspect is a membrane protein. You obtain the protein’s primary structure and establish that the protein is an integral membrane protein with one transmembrane segment. What information below could you use to determine that the protein is a type I transmembrane protein and not a type II transmembrane protein?

Which of the following assumptions is usually made in MLE? __________________ A) The data is uniformly distributed. B) The observations are independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.). C) The prior distribution is informative. D) The likelihood function must be linear.

Which of the following steps is NOT part of the MLE process? _____________________ A) Defining the likelihood function. B) Taking the logarithm of the likelihood function. C) Differentiating the likelihood with respect to the parameters. D) Minimizing the likelihood function to find the parameter estimates.

Acetone can strongly hydrogen bond to itself.

Which of the following could be used as a structure quality indicator for this study?   

The ‘rule of thirds’ on social media advertising refers to the concept of dividing your content strategy into three district categories: 

The maximum likelihood estimate for the mean is biased. True/False. ___________
