I am trying to understand this picture from Statquest

Likelihood of p = 0.25

in the light of the Wikipedia statement that Likelihood

describes the joint probability of the observed data as a function of the parameters of the chosen statistical model.

Am I right thinking "joint probability" does not apply here since we only have 1 dimension, being X?

I am also confused here about what it means to have

a likelihood of p = 0.25 when p = 0.5

surely p cant be both?

Does joint probability apply when calculating likelihood with the binomial distribution?
