Bibliography management

Question

I am using Latex for my synopsis
my documentclass is article
I used
begin{thebibliography}{99}
bibitem{ibrahim2017kumaraswamy}Ibrahim, M. (2017). The Kumaraswamy power function distribution. J. Stat. Appl. Probab, 6, 81-90.
end{thebibliography}.

after running this it gives number like [1] in the start which is against university's formate
can anyone tell me how to remove this numbering from the bibiliography

Based on the scant information you've provided, I will assume that your university requires you to generate authoryear-style citation call-outs. If this assumption is correct, I suggest you (a) load the natbib citation management package and (b) use the optional argument of bibitem to provide information needed by natbib in order to create citation call-outs using the citet and citep directives.
Incidentally, Ibrahim would appear to be the given name rather than the surname of the author of the bibliographic entry of interest. For the citation call-outs, be sure to provide information about the author's surname.

documentclass{article}
usepackage[authoryear]{natbib}
begin{document}
noindent
citet{ibrahim2017kumaraswamy}, citep{ibrahim2017kumaraswamy}

begin{thebibliography}{99}

bibitem[Abdul-Moniem(2017)]{ibrahim2017kumaraswamy}
  Abdul-Moniem, Ibrahim B. (2017). 
  The Kumaraswamy power function distribution. 
  J. Stat. Appl. Probab, 6, 81--90.

end{thebibliography}
end{document}
