If I want shows that [tex]\hat{b}[/tex] is an unbiased estimator for the b
where [tex]\hat{b}[/tex] = - [tex]\sum[/tex] ln xi /n
f(x)= [tex]\frac{1}{b}[/tex] e(1-b/b)

Is that meant to be (1-b)/b? If its not then you'll get 1/b which is basically a uniform distribution,given that the domain is accurate.

You need to show the expected value of b hat = b.
