Given a, b ∈ r s. t. a < b, consider the density p(x | θ = (a, b)) ∝ n 1 if a ≤ x ≤ b 0 otherwise . suppose that n samples x1, . . , xn are drawn i. i.d. from p(x|θ). what is the maximum likelihood estimate (mle) of θ given the samples?

$250 deductible means jane must pay the first $250 of her bill. so the insurance company paid = (80% of bill) - deductible = (0.8 x $2550) - $250 = $2040 - $250 = $1790 and jane's cost is = (bill) - (insurance payment) = $2550 - $1790 = $760
