Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Suppose you have a dataset of coin flips with 8 heads and 2 tails. Use MLE to estimate the probability of heads. Explain your reasoning.

💡 Hint: Consider the formula for likelihood in relation to successful outcomes.

Challenge 2 Hard

Imagine you are developing a new drug. You have some prior evidence about its effectiveness from previous studies. How would you apply Bayesian Estimation to incorporate this information into your current analysis?

💡 Hint: Remember how prior knowledge can influence your current estimates.
