Ok right I understand. I was confused.
So am I correct with the following next steps:
L(p)= ∏(ni+1)(1-p)∑nip2n
Then in the next take is to find l(p) which is l(p)=Ln(L(p))
So I end up with:
l(p)= Ln(∏(ni+1))+∑niLn(1-p)+2n*Ln(p)
Then taking the derivative of dl(p)/dp and...
So I've collected terms for m=3 and get the following:
(n1+1)(n2+1)(n3+1)(1-p)n1(1-p)n2(1-p)n3p2p2p2
So by using your A(1-p)BpC:
I think B=∑ni
C=2n
A is where I'm still stuck. Am I missing something completely I can't seem to figure out how to reduced (n1+1)(n2+1)(n3+1)
And to...

1. An experiment consists of giving a sequences of patients a risky treatment until two have died, and then recording N, the number who survived. If p is the proportion killed by the treatment, then the distribution of N is:
P(N=n)=(n+1)(1-p)n p2

The distribution of grades is know to follow a normal distribution, but the mean and variance are unknown. A random sample of 12 students produced the following scores:
59, 84, 68, 93, 49, 77, 82, 75, 81, 58, 70, 80
Find the 90% two-sided confidence interval for the mean score.
