The normalized density isFor against , the sample likelihood ratio isIt is strictly decreasing in . Under , parts (a) and (b) giveIf is the lower -quantile of this gamma distribution, the Neyman-Pearson lemma gives the most powerful size- critical region
For any fixed ,is again strictly decreasing in the same statistic . Thus the same critical region is most powerful against every and is consequently a uniformly most powerful test of against .
