Consider the normal distribution f(x|θ) = [1 / sqrt(2π)] exp(−1/2 (x − θ)^2 ) for all x.

Let the prior distribution for θ be f(θ) = [1 / sqrt(2π)] exp[(−1/2) (θ^2)] for all θ.

(a) Show that the posterior distribution is a normal distribution. With what parameters?

(b) Find the Bayes’ estimator for θ.
