L(μ) 15 20 25 a. Given the likelihood function above, what is the MLE of μ? b. The given likelihood function in fact is that of a random sample of 3 observations (X = 17, 22, and 18) from a normal population σ = 6 and unknown mean µ. What principle does your answer therefore illustrate? *c. Using a computer and the formula (4-26) for the normal distribution, verify that the graph above really does represent the likelihood function of part b.
