Question:

62. Suppose that the number of accidents occurring daily in a certain plant has a Poisson distribution with an unknown mean λ. Based on previous experience in similar industrial plants, suppose that a statistician’s initial feelings about the possible value of λ can be expressed by an exponential distribution with parameter 1. That is, the prior density is
