    Hi,
    I noticed that the parameters given in the Gamma distribution on this question appear odd. It gives the distribution of Xi | θi ~ Gamma(Vi, Vi . θi ), rather than the Xi | θi ~ Gamma(Vi, Vi / θi) which is given in the actual exam paper.

    Hi Actueire

    Thanks for your post. I have checked the master version of ASET (pic attached) and it looks like the question is correct there so I am slightly baffled why it is wrong in your copy. Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience caused. I have also checked the Revision Books and it seems to be correct there too.
