Question

MLE 6. (a) A coin is tossed 100 times and lands heads 62 times. What is the maximum likelihood estimate for ? the probability of heads. 7. The following data is from a random sample of a normally distributed population 1, 1.2, 1.34, 2, 3.1, 5, 5.31, 8.6, 12, 13.04, 14.1, 14.45, 14.73, 14.94, 18.06, 100.13. Find the maximum likelihood estimates for the mean and variance of the population.

Step 1

- Given: A coin is tossed 100 times and lands heads 62 times. - The MLE for the probability of heads, \( \theta \), is the proportion of heads observed. \[ \theta = \frac{\text{Number of heads}}{\text{Total tosses}} = \frac{62}{100} = 0.62 \] Show more…
