QUESTION:

Let \(Y_{1}, Y_{2}, \ldots, Y_{n}\) denote a random sample from the probability density function

\(f(y)=\left\{\begin{array}{ll}  \theta y^{\theta-1}, & 0<y<1 \\  0, & \text { elsewhere } \end{array}\right.\)

where \(\theta>0\). Show that \(\bar{Y}\) is a consistent estimator of \theta \(/(\theta+1)\).
