Explain the concept of Maximum Likelihood Estimation.
Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE) is a method of estimating the parameters of a statistical model by maximizing the likelihood function, ensuring that the observed data is most probable under the assumed model.

What are Percentiles, Deciles, and Quartiles?
Percentiles divide data into 100 equal parts, Deciles into 10, and Quartiles into 4, helping to understand data distribution.
