A study was undertaken at Virginia Tech to determine if fire can be used as a viable management tool to increase the amount of forage available to deer during the critical months in late winter and early spring. Calcium is a required element for plants and animals. The amount taken up and stored in plants is closely correlated to the amount present in the soil. It was hypothesized that a fire may change the calcium levels where p is the probability of a success (cure) and q = 1 − p. Now, of course, the sample information gives x = 1. Write out a development that shows that pˆ = 1.0 is the maximum likelihood estimator of the probability of a cure
