Maximum likelihood estimation
The random variables X1,X2,…,Xn are continuous, independent, and distributed according to the Erlang PDF
fX(x)= (λ^3*x^2*e^(−λx))/2, for x≥0,
where λ is an unknown parameter. Find the maximum likelihood estimate of λ, based on observed values x1,x2,…,xn. Express your answer as a function of n and s where s=x1+x2+…xn.
