seems like the question want you to derive the MLE for the parameters of a multinomial distribution. Actually it is a quite standard MLE problem - this time you will need to solve a system of (linear) equations as dimension of the parameter space. Remember the sum of the parameters is equal to 1. You may want to compare with the binomial case (with 2 categories but the dimension is 1).
