  2. Find the95% posterior predictive interval for y?.Do this byfinding the predictive probabilities for each of the possiblevalues of y? and ordering them from largest probability tosmallest. Then add the most probable values of y? into yourprobability set one at a time until the total probability exceeds0.95 for the first time.
