10-46. Suppose we draw a random sample of size n from a multinomial distribution with probability mass function (6.24). Additionally, suppose there occurs xj outcomes of type Aj , j = 1, . . . , k. Determine the maximum likelihood estimators for the parameters pj , j = 1, . . . , k. (Hint: Maximize the likelihood function subject to the restriction k



j=1 pj = 1.)
