Given a random variable $X$ which arise from a parameterized distribution $F(X;θ)$, the likelihood is defined as proportional to the probability of observed data as a function of $θ$: $\operatorname{L}(θ | x)=\operatorname{P}(X=x \mid θ)$

Maximum likelihood of coin toss of different type?

My problem is I can't figure out the exact calculation to determine the maximum likelihood estimation of both biases. … Therefore, the likelihood function $L(p)$ is, by definition: $$ L(p) =\prod f(x_i;p) \\ L(p)=p^{∑x_i} (1−p)^{n−∑x_i} $$ So given the dataset $x_i$ we can maximize this equation w.r.t p. …
