The uploaded document contains a problem set from a hypothesis testing course, covering uniformly most powerful (UMP) tests and related statistical inference techniques. Here’s a brief summary of each question in the problem set:

1. Bernoulli Distribution Testing: Derive a UMP test for testing $H_0: \theta = \frac{1}{2}$ against $H_1: \theta < \frac{1}{2}$, with a random sample from a Bernoulli distribution.

2. Normal Distribution Testing (Mean): Find a UMP test for testing $H_0: \theta = 75$ versus $H_1: \theta > 75$, given a sample from $N(\theta, 100)$, with $\alpha = 0.05$.

3. Sample Size and Power Function: Determine the sample size and derive the UMP test for testing $H_0: \theta = 25$ versus $H_1: \theta < 25$ from a $N(\theta, 16)$ distribution, ensuring specific power values at given points.

4. Testing for Variance in Normal Distribution: Show that a particular set forms a UMP critical region for testing $H_0: \theta = 2$ against $H_1: \theta < 2$, with a normal distribution sample and derive the critical value for $n = 10$, $\alpha = 0.05$.

5. Testing for Monotone Likelihood Ratio (MLR): Use the MLR property of the normal distribution to derive the UMP test for $H_0: \theta = 4$ versus $H_1: \theta > 4$.

6. Geometric Distribution Testing: Derive a UMP test for $H_0: \theta \geq \theta_0$ versus $H_1: \theta < \theta_0$, where $\theta \in (0,1)$.

7. Normal Distribution Testing (Variance): Show that the family of normal distributions has an MLR in terms of variance and use it to derive the UMP test for $H_0: \sigma^2 \leq \sigma_0^2$ versus $H_1: \sigma^2 > \sigma_0^2$.

8. Exponential Distribution Testing: Derive a UMP test for testing $H_0: \beta = \frac{1}{2}$ versus $H_1: \beta < \frac{1}{2}$, based on a sample from an exponential distribution.

9. Poisson Distribution Testing: Derive a UMP test for $H_0: \lambda \leq 4.0$ versus $H_1: \lambda > 4.0$.

10. Distribution with Specific Density Function: Derive a UMP test for $H_0: \theta = 6$ versus $H_1: \theta > 6$, given a sample from a distribution with a provided density function.

11. Significance Testing for Poisson Random Variable: Determine whether a reduction in the average number of accidents is significant, based on a change from $\lambda = 3.0$ to $\lambda = 2.5$.

12. Test for a Population with a Given Density Function: Derive the most powerful test for $H_0: \theta = 3$ versus $H_1: \theta > 3$, using a specific form of density function.
