The fraction of a bottle that is filled with a particular liquid is a continuous random variable

Question:

The fraction of a bottle that is filled with a particular liquid is a continuous random variable X with pdf ƒ(x; θ) = θxθ–1 for 0 < x < 1 (where θ > 0).

a. Obtain the method of moments estimator for θ.
b. Is the estimator of (a) a sufficient statistic? If not, what is a sufficient statistic, and what is an estimator of θ (not necessarily unbiased) based on a sufficient statistic?
