Example 6.42 Cacer Consider the problem of estimating the prevalence of malignant melanoma in 45- to 54-year-old women in he United States. Suppose a random sample of 5000 women is elected from this age group and 28 are found to have the disease. Suppose the prevalence of the disease in this age group is p. How can p be estimated? Example 6.45 Suppose we have n independent observa- tions x1, x2,, xn from a normal distribution with mean μ and variance o². What is the likelihood and likelihood estimator of μ and σ²?
