Is maximum likelihood estimators a part of S3 or S4?
Not as far as I am aware.
All you need to do is find the joint distribution of all of the observations in terms of the parameter, xi, log it if necessary, differentiate it with respect to the parameter and solve that, before differnetiating again to check that it is a maximum. Slightly more complicated if it involves two parameters.

Everything is fine for the very last part of the last question except I used a continuity correction but the mark scheme doesn't use this. Why is this? I did it slightly differently where I would Reset the Q to P(no of sixes is more than 180) Then I did P(X1+...+X100>180.5) I rechecked if I had just done P(X1+...X100>180) then I would have got the correct answer.

You don't need to use a continuity correction after using in the central limit theorem in Edexcel S3

The continuity correction is only for when you do the approximations

In the book it does say a continuity correction can be applied depending on a question. It is definitely in the chapter 3 somewhere in a red box where they write comments.
