Consider an i.i.d. sample X1, ..., X, from a geometric distribution with p.m.f. P{X = } = (1-P)", = r = 1,2,3,..., where pe (0,1) is unknown. (a) Find the likelihood function for the sample X], ..., Xy. (b) Find the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) Pn for the parameter p and justify clearly your steps. (c) Prove that Pris a consistent estimator for p. 1
