Let be independent observations; ~ ; where and are known constants and is an unknown parameter. Consider prior for the parameter , where and are known constants, and denotes a normal distribution with mean and variance . Suppose ȳ ₌ and ₌ are observed sample means. Under squared error loss function, which of the following statements are true?
