Problem 6 10 Pnts Coin Unknown Bias Two Hypothe Ses Ho States Probability Heads 1 3 H1 Say Q29409893

Problem 6: (10 pnts) A coin has unknown bias, and there are two hypothe ses for what it can be: Ho states that the probability of Heads is 1/3, and H1 says it is 2/3. To find which hypothesis is true, the coin is tossed 20 times. For what values of k, the number of heads, is the likelihood of seeing k heads in the 20 tosses given by hypothesis Ho more than that given by hypothesis H1? (For full credit, first write down the likelihood function for each hypothesis, and then solve the above ques- tion.)
