Prof. Lazy decides to assign final grades in CSE 312 by ignoring all the work the students have done and instead using the following probabilistic method: each student independently will be assigned an A with probability θ, a B with probability 3θ, a C with probability 1/2, and an F with probability 1/2 4θ. When the quarter is over, you discover that only 2 students got an A, 10 got a B, 60 got a C, and 40 got an F. Find the maximum likelihood estimate for the parameter θ that Prof. Lazy used. Give an exact answer as a simplified fraction.
