A vendor of seeds has purchased a stock of seeds of an exotic flower, and wants to estimate the probability that one of these seeds germinates. Therefore, she plants 5 seeds in each of 3 large pots. After one month, she finds that the number of germinating seeds in the first, second and third pot were, respectively, 2, 3 and 2. Assuming that the number of germinating seeds in each of the pots follows a Binomial distribution with the same probability p of success (that is, germination), compute the Maximum Likelihood estimator for the probability that a seed germinates, using the formula that you derived above.
