Let X1, ..., Xn be a random sample from a Geometric(p) distribution with probability mass function f(x; p) = p(1 - p)^{x-1} 1_N(x). (a) Find the Method of Moments Estimator for p. (b) Find the MLE for p.

Suppose that X1, X2, Xn is a simple random sample from Bernoulli distribution of parameter p. The p estimator obtained by the method of moments b) If, in a random sample of size n = 10 of this distribution; the observed values are 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, the p estimate obtained via the moment estimator will be equal to?
