Question:

Again let X ∼ Binomial(200, p), and suppose we make the observation X = 81. Which of the following statements correctly describes the maximum likelihood estimate of p?

a. The MLE is the probability that X = 81.

b. The MLE is the value of p that gives X = 81 the lowest variance.

c. The MLE is the value of p that maximises the statistical significance of X = 81.

d. The MLE is the value of p that maximises P(X = 81).
