I am lost with the way im supposed to solve this question please help?

Let Y1, Y2,..
...,Yn denote iid uniform random variables on the interval (3, 4X).
Obtain a maximum likelihood estimator for A, A.
Use this estimator to provide an estimate of A when
= 4.5, 2 = 3, 3 = 6.5,
4 = 5.5.
number (rtol=0.01, atol=1e-08)
Notes: You can express your answer as a fraction or decimal. If you answer is in decimal, include at least
4 non-zero digits after the decimal point.
