Let X1, X2, ..., Xn be a random sample of size from a distribution with probability density function
f(x) = λxλ−1 , 0 < x < 1, λ > 0
a) Get the method of moments estimator of λ. Calculate the estimate when x1 = 0.1, x2 = 0.2, x3 = 0.3.
b) Get the maximum likelihood estimator of λ. Calculate the estimate when x1 = 0.1, x2 = 0.2, x3 = 0.3.
