$$\frac{\partial \log L}{\partial \mu} = \sum_{i=1}^{n} \frac{x_i-\mu}{\sigma^2} = 0$$

Taking the logarithm and differentiating with respect to $\lambda$, we get:

$$\frac{\partial \log L}{\partial \lambda} = \sum_{i=1}^{n} \frac{x_i}{\lambda} - n = 0$$

There are two main approaches to point estimation: the classical approach and the Bayesian approach. The classical approach, also known as the frequentist approach, assumes that the population parameter is a fixed value and that the sample is randomly drawn from the population. The Bayesian approach, on the other hand, assumes that the population parameter is a random variable and uses prior information to update the estimate.
