Suppose \{X_1, X_2, ..., X_n\} is a random sample from N(\mu, \sigma^2). Let \overline{X} and S^2 be the sample mean and sample variance respectively. Show that (\overline{X}, S^2) is a minimal sufficient statistic if both \mu and \sigma^2 are not known.

Suppose that X1, X2, ..., Xn form a random sample from a normal distribution with unknown mean μ and known variance σ^2. At the level of α, we are interested in testing the hypotheses: H0: μ = μ0 vs. H1: μ ≠ μ0. Show that the likelihood ratio test is equivalent to a z-test.
