The null density is uniform

Let X be a random variable with the probability density function if 0 < x < 1, and 0 otherwise, where . Based on single observation x, the critical region of the most powerful test for testing null hypothesis against alternative hypothesis , at level of significance , is

  1. A.x < 1/4
  2. B.x > 3/4
  3. C.1/2 < x < 3/4
  4. D.1/4 < x < 1/2

You have the answer. Trap Analysis is why the other three were written.

Not a worked solution repeated four times — the specific reasoning error each wrong option was built to reward.
