Question: Suppose that the random variable, X, has density function

, x > 0, > 0.

A random sample of size n of X, denoted by X1, X2, …, Xn, is obtained.

a) Derive the maximum-likelihood (ML) estimator for .

b) Obtain E(X) and Var (X).

c) Use the results above to show that the ML estimator is asymptotically efficient.
