(a) Let X1, ..., Xn be a random sample from a normal distribution with the density as follows f(x) = (1/sqrt(2*pi*sigma^2)) * e^(-(x-mu)^2 / (2*sigma^2)). Obtain the maximum likelihood estimators of mu and sigma^2, respectively. (b) Let X1, X2, ..., Xn be Bernoulli random variables with probability mass function as follow P(Xi = 1) = p, P(Xi = 0) = 1 - p. What is the method of moments estimator of p?
