• Part a

This problems is the same one that we had in class the other day. First you write down the sequence which is ( (1-p)^6*p^4)). Then you take the derivative in term of p and solve for p

    • part b

you follow the same procedure as above, but now , you just need to use variables instead


// I wold like to comment on part b. I thought you should do part b as described above, however after going to the help session i learned that we have to do part b differently than part a because in part a we have a fixed outcome. In part be we can have any combination as long as there are k heads.
