A coin with probability of heads equal to p is tossed n times, and heads comes up k times. We want to estimate p from this data. (a) Write down the likelihood function for p, i.e. L(p|k). (b) Compute the maximum likelihood estimator for p. (c) Write down the maximum likelihood estimate when n = 20 and k = 5 and when k = 10.
