Question:

Refer to Assignment Problem 10. The following table lists log-likelihoods for a range of values of p between 0.1 and 0.3, in increments of 0.01.

Proportion, pp 0.100.10 0.110.11 0.120.12 0.130.13 0.140.14 0.150.15 0.160.16 0.170.17 0.180.18 0.190.19

a. Using only our calculations based on these increments, identify the maximum likelihood estimate.

b. Using these same calculations, generate a likelihood-based 95% confidence interval for p.

Data from Assignment Problem 10

The Mediterranean shrub Thymelaea hirsute has five sexual types, the most curious of which is “gender labile.” Such individuals change their predominant sex from year to year. Ramadan et al. (1994) found 13 gender-labile individuals in a sample of 68 shrubs from a single habitat in Egypt.
