A brush cost $2 more than a comb. The brush and come together cost $3.78. Find the cost of each

So:
brush = comb+2

Total: comb + (comb+2) = 3.78
2 * comb + 2 = 3.78 /-2
2 * comb = 1.78 /divide by 2
comb = 0.89

brush = 0.89 + 2 = 2.89

3,78-2=1.78
1.78/2=0.89
0.89+2=2.89
cepillo=2.89
peine=0.89

5.2.14. For the negative binomial pdf p (k; p, r) = k+r−1 (1 − p)kpr, find the maximum likelihood k estimator for p if r is know

Volgvan

Answer:

$\hat p = \frac{r}{\bar x +r}$

Step-by-step explanation:

A negative binomial random variable "is the number X of repeated trials to produce r successes in a negative binomial experiment. The probability distribution of a negative binomial random variable is called a negative binomial distribution, this distribution is known as the Pascal distribution".

And the probability mass function is given by:

$P(X=x) = (x+r-1 C k)p^r (1-p)^{x}$

Where r represent the number successes after the k failures and p is the probability of a success on any given trial.

Solution to the problem

For this case the likehoof function is given by:

$L(\theta , x_i) = \prod_{i=1}^n f(\theta ,x_i)$

If we replace the mass function we got:

$L(p, x_i) = \prod_{i=1}^n (x_i +r-1 C k) p^r (1-p)^{x_i}$

When we take the derivate of the likehood function we got:

$l(p,x_i) = \sum_{i=1}^n [log (x_i +r-1 C k) + r log(p) + x_i log(1-p)]$

And in order to estimate the likehood estimator for p we need to take the derivate from the last expression and we got:

$\frac{dl(p,x_i)}{dp} = \sum_{i=1}^n \frac{r}{p} -\frac{x_i}{1-p}$

And we can separete the sum and we got:

$\frac{dl(p,x_i)}{dp} = \sum_{i=1}^n \frac{r}{p} -\sum_{i=1}^n \frac{x_i}{1-p}$

Now we need to find the critical point setting equal to zero this derivate and we got:

$\frac{dl(p,x_i)}{dp} = \sum_{i=1}^n \frac{r}{p} -\sum_{i=1}^n \frac{x_i}{1-p}=0$

$\sum_{i=1}^n \frac{r}{p} =\sum_{i=1}^n \frac{x_i}{1-p}$

For the left and right part of the expression we just have this using the properties for a sum and taking in count that p is a fixed value:

$\frac{nr}{p}= \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n x_i}{1-p}$

Now we need to solve the value of $\hat p$ from the last equation like this:

$nr(1-p) = p \sum_{i=1}^n x_i$

$nr -nrp =p \sum_{i=1}^n x_i$

$p \sum_{i=1}^n x_i +nrp = nr$

$p[\sum_{i=1}^n x_i +nr]= nr$

And if we solve for $\hat p$ we got:

$\hat p = \frac{nr}{\sum_{i=1}^n x_i +nr}$

And if we divide numerator and denominator by n we got:

$\hat p = \frac{r}{\bar x +r}$

Since $\bar x = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n x_i}{n}$
