Suppose X1, . . . , XM is a set of M observations representing the Binomial probability model.

please explain and write neatly so I can understand..

(a) Write out the likelihood function.

(b) Write out the log-likelihood function.

(c) Find the score function by taking the partial derivative of the log-likelihood function.

(d) Set the score function equal to zero and solve for the parameter p.

(e) Take the second partial derivative of the score function.

(f) Check to make sure this value is negative to ensure that the log-likelihood function is concave down.

(g) What is the Maximum Likelihood estimator for a Binomial probability model?

Suppose that X1, X2, , Xm and Y1, Y2, , Yn are independent random samples, with the variables Xi normally distributed with mean μ1 and variance σ12 and the variables Yi normally distributed with mean μ2 and variance σ22. The difference between the sample means, X − Y, is then a linear combination of m + n normally distributed random variables and, by this theorem, is itself normally distributed. (a) Find E(X − Y). (b) Find V(X − Y). (c)...
