I'm currently working on Neyman Pearson in Statistical Inference. The solution to this particular question has that:
$$ [(3CX)(1/4)^{x}(3/4)^{3-x}]/[(3CX)(3/4)^x(1/4)^{3-x}] $$
gives us:
$$ [3^{3-x}]/[3^x] $$
I'm at a loss as to how we get this result. I've tried to work it out by hand and I am assuming that the two $ (3CX)'s $ cancel. Still not sure how we end up with a $ 3^{something} $ on top and bottom. If anyone could point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated. (Apologies for a rather loose handed application of LaTeX, coding is not my strong point)
$(1/4)^x/(3/4)^x$ leaves $(1/3)^x$ and $(3/4)^{3-x}/(1/4)^{3-x}$ leaves $3^{3-x}.$
