To find the maximum likelihood estimate, suppose that, in general, t animals are tagged. Then, of a second sample of size m, r tagged animals are recaptured. We estimate n by the maximizer of the likelihood:
Find the log-likelihood, and then indicate which terms of it would not become zero if you took the derivative to find the MLE of n.

For the likelihood
replace the binomial coefficients with the appropriate
factorials. Find the log-likelihood, and then indicate which terms
of it would not become zero if you took the derivative to find the
MLE of n. (This should demonstrate that we really don't want to
approach this problem in the usual way!)
(b) Find the natural log of
the likelihood function simplifying as much as possible.
Loglikelihood =
(c) Take the derivative of the log likelihood function you found
in part (b) and make it 0. Solve for the unknown population
parameter as a function of some of the summary statistics we know
(X¯, or S 2 or whatever applies. ) That is your maximum likelihood
estimator (MLE) of the unknown parameter.

J This question relates to the idea of maximum likelihood estimation (MLE). MLE is a commonly used method in statistics, if not a cornerstone, that finds estimates of model parameters by answering the question, "given some observed data, what are the parameter estimates that maximise the likelihood (chance) of observing that data in the first place?" To provide an example, if we observe the values 2.6, 3.2 and 5.1 assumed to be drawn independently from the same distribution, it is...
