Abstract
A fancy new restaurant has opened up that features only 4 dishes. The unique feature of dining here is that they will serve you any of the four dishes randomly according to the following probability distribution: give dish A with probability 0.5, dish B with probability θ, dish C with probability 2θ, and dish D with probability 0.5 ́ 3θ. Each diner is served a dish independently. Let xA be the number of people who received dish A, xB the number of people who received dish B, etc, where xA ` xB ` xC ` xD “ n. Find the MLE for θ, θ̂.
