Likelihood is given by



$$L(theta | x_1, x_2, dots, x_n = barx) = (theta)^n barx (1-theta)^n(1-barx)$$



log likelihood is



$ln (L) = n barx ln(theta) + n(1-barx)ln(1-theta)$



derivative is



$fracd ln(L)d theta = fracn barxtheta - fracn(1-barx)1-theta$



now what? Answer is $hattheta$= $barx$?

          Equate the derivative to $0$.



          $$fracbarxhattheta=frac1-barx1-hattheta$$



          Cross multiplying,
          $$barx-hattheta barx=hattheta - hatthetabarx$$



          Hence $$hattheta = barx.$$
