In a directory on a particular folder of a hard disk drive, there are N = 50 files. Suppose that in a random selection of n = 12 files, 9 are observed to be e-books. Under the assumption of a hypergeometric distribution, and by using the likelihood function approach, give the ML estimate of m. Check Equation 6.30 if required to complete the R program.
