The plot of the logarithm of the likelihood shown below indicates that there are two values of $p$ that give the same maximum value for the likelihood.
May I know why this happens and find an equation satisfied by these values.
Many thanks!

1It happens because of the specifics of the (unknown to us) problem. And if you are able to plot, don't you already have an equation? – Hagen von Eitzen Apr 29 '14 at 06:04

Actually it is a question(including the plot) in a paper without any given information such as which random variable with which distribution is involved... – Casilaze Apr 29 '14 at 06:34
