(a) Assume that the sample is from a distribution with density function f(x | σ) = 2 exp(-²¹). Note that here | x | denotes the absolute value of x. Please find the maximum likelihood estimate of o. (b) Assume that the sample is from the Pareto distribution, which has been used in economics as a model for a density function with a slowly decaying tail. The density function is given by f(x | x₁,0) = 0xx-0-1, * > 0,0 > 1. Here xo> 0 is given. Please find the maximum likelihood estimate of 0.
