would there be a formula?

Homework Statement for 2<= a <=10 what is the last 4 digits of a^1000? What is the criterion for the prediction of the last 4 digits from a?

thanks for the clarifications =)

hmm..so in this case i should use the multinomial prob. mass function to get the likelihood function.. then take the natural log of it correct? Do I differentiate now and how do I arrive at the estimate for theta?

i'm a little lost at this point, in the above section it says that for example green marbles is modeled by a r.v. N1 with a binomial (n, 1/4(θ+2)) distribution and blue is modeled by r.v. N2 with a binomial (n,1/4(θ)) dist. where n in both cases is total # of marbles (3839 in this case) so I'm...

oops i left out that x=1,2,3,4 are of binomial distributions... would the likelihood function be the pmf of binomial dist.? = (nCx) p^x (1-p)^(n-x) and the loglikelihood function be: L(p)= log(nCx) + xlog(p) + (n-x)log(1-p) ??

in need of help for how to do this question given probability mass function: x 1 2 3 4 p(x) 1/4(θ+2) 1/4(θ) 1/4(1-θ) 1/4(1-θ) Marbles 1=green 2=blue 3=red 4=white For 3839 randomly picked marbles green=1997 blue=32 red=906...
