To find the Maximum Likelihood Estimator, the professor generally require us to follow and note 4 steps:
1. find L(θ) = product of all the f(XI, θ)
2. take ln(L(θ))
3. take d/dθ of ln(L(θ)) and set the derivative to 0
4. solve for θ
I started with: 1) P(X > k) = 1-P(x <= k) = 1-integral of f(k) from 0 to k
2) find the function in terms of θ
But I'm not sure what to do with the θ function, as it doesn't have xi, and I'm not sure how to find L(θ) without xi !

Let X1, X2, ..., Xn be iid with
pdf f(x|θ) = θ*x(θ-1). a) Find the Maximum Likelihood
Estimator of θ, and b) show that its variance converges to
0 as n approaches infinity.
I have no problem with part a, finding the MLE of θ. However,
I'm having some trouble with finding the variance.
The professor walked us through part b generally, but I need
help with univariate transformation for sigma(-ln(xi))
(see picture below - the professor used Y=sigma(-ln(x)), and...
