Statistics Question on Univariate Distributions

Let 𝑋1, 𝑋2 be a random sample from a distribution having a probability density function
f(x) =\begin{cases} \frac{1}{ΞΈ}e^{\frac{y}{ΞΈ}} & \quad \text{if }x >0,\\\ 0, & \quad Otherwise \end{cases}$$πœƒ
where πœƒβˆˆ(0, ∞) is an unknown parameter. For testing the null hypothesis 𝐻0 : πœƒ=1 against 𝐻1∢ πœƒβ‰ 1, consider a test that rejects 𝐻0 for small observed values of the statistic π‘Š=𝑋1+𝑋22π‘Š = \frac{𝑋_1+𝑋_2}{ 2} . If the observed values of 𝑋1 and 𝑋2 are 0.25 and 0.75, respectively, then the 𝑝-value equals___(round off to two decimal places)

Answer

The correct answer is: 0.25 to 0.27 (approx)
