we know some prior distribution of the parameter 𝜃𝜃, it can be used to generate valuesfor 𝛽𝛽0 and 𝛽𝛽1. In this case since we don’t have any prior knowledge about the distribution of theparameters 𝛽𝛽0 and 𝛽𝛽1, we model 𝜃𝜃 as normally distributed with mean 0 and the standarddeviation σ: 𝜃𝜃~𝑁𝑁(0, σ). On average, these priors will yield Pr( 𝐸𝐸 ≤ 69) = Pr( 𝐸𝐸 > 69) = 0.5,i.e., equally likely, indicating self-reported study habits are equally likely to predict bothoutcomes.MethodsA.
