To compute the likelihood for an independent sample, first write the joint pmf/pdf of all observations conditional on the parameter, then use independence to factor it into a product of the individual pmf/pdf terms.
Conditions: The sample is independent.; Each observation has the same functional form .; The data values are plugged in while remains symbolic.
