Given: f(x)=C(1+θx)1x1
a)A valid PDF satisfies xf(x)dx=1
11c(1+θx)dx=1
C[x+θx22]11=1
c=12
b) Moment estimator for θ,μ11=11xf(x)dx
μ11=s1211(x+θx2)dx=12[x22+θx33]11
μ11=12[1(1)+θ3(1(1))]=θ3 Maximum likelihood estimator for θ
f(x)=(1+θx)2
L(θ)=1=1nf(x1)=(1+θx1)(1+θx2)(1+θ3)(1+θxn)2
L(θ)=1=1n(1+θx1)
Take log, log L(θ)=nlog2+i=1n(xi)1(1+θxi)=0
Now δδθL(x,θ)=0+i=1n(xi)1(1+θxi)=0 Given μ,i=1n
