Statistical Inference — MLE properties for a squared-exponential scale family

Let x1,x2,x3,…,xnx_1, x_2, x_3, …, x_n be a random sample from a distribution with probability density function f(x;θ)=2xθe−x2θf(x; \theta) = \frac{2x}{\theta}e^{-\frac{x^2}{\theta}}; x>0x > 0, θ>0\theta > 0. Which of the following statements are correct in respect of parameter θ\theta of the distribution? I. The maximum likelihood estimate of θ\theta is given by θ^MLE=1n∑i=1nxi2\hat\theta_{MLE} = \frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^{n}x_i^2. II. θ^MLE\hat\theta_{MLE} is an unbiased estimator of θ\theta. III. θ^MLE\hat\theta_{MLE} is sufficient estimator of θ\theta. Select the answer using the code given below.
