Question: (a) Based on the random sample Y 1 = 6.3, Y 2 = 1.8, Y 3 = 14.2, and Y 4 = 7.6, use the

(a) Based on the random sample Y1 = 6.3, Y2 = 1.8, Y3 = 14.2, and Y4 = 7.6, use the method f maximum likelihood to estimate the parameter θ in the uniform pdf fY(y; θ) = 1/θ,  0 ≤ y ≤ θ

(b) Suppose the random sample in part (a) represents the two-parameter uniform pdf fY(y; θ1, θ2) = 1/θ2 − θ1, θ1 ≤ y ≤ θ2

Find the maximum likelihood estimates for θ1 and θ2.
