Consider a hypothetical experiment where a man with a fungus uses an antifungal drug and is cured. Consider this, then, a sample of one from a Bernoulli distribution with probability function

\(f(x)=p^{x} q^{1-x}, \quad x=0,1,\)

where p is the probability of a success (cure) and q = 1 − p. Now, of course, the sample information gives x = 1. Write out a development that shows that \(\hat{p} = 1.0\) is the maximum likelihood estimator of the probability of a cure.
