Question
The distribution of voters supporting a particular party (call it PartyA, out of two parties running for office) has been found by experience to have a probability distri- bution f(r; p) = Op°-1, 0 <p< 1, 0<0 < o, where p is the percentage of registrants in a precinct who vote for PartyA. Suppose voters in five randomly selected precincts before an election are polled, and suppose the proportions intending to vote for PartyA are 0.45, 0.68, 0.87, 0.36, and 0.54, respectively. Estimate 0.
