Feb 4, 2022 at 4:08 comment added Eli Yes to your first question, but I wasn’t thinking of it that way though. The sample mean is maximum likelihood estimate of a $p$ in a $Binom(n, p)$ so you know it’s consistent.

Feb 3, 2022 at 23:21 comment added Hermi Thanks! For the consistent estimate part, can I say that since $\bar{X}_n\to p$ and $\bar{Y}_n\to q$ in probability? This implies $\bar{X}_n$ and $\bar{Y}_n$ are consistent estimator. Then plug it into $f(p,q)$ to get the consistent estimator?

clarified that p and q cannot be 0
