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}

You can multiply the number of laps each person ran by the yards in each lap and then add them together:

440 + 2(440) + 3(440) + 4(440)
= 440 + 880 + 1,320 + 1,760
= 4,440 yards

Or you can add the laps first, then multiply by the yards in each lap
(1 + 2 + 3 + 4)(440)
= 10 x 440
= 4,400 yards

Simplify sin(3pi minus x)
Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

sinx

Step-by-step explanation:

hello :

note :

for all x in ℝ :   1) sin(x+2π) = sinx        2)  sin(π-x) = sinx

in this exercice :

3π - x = 2π+(π - x)

sin(3π - x) = sin(2π +(π - x)) =sin(π-x) = sinx
