Beta MLE From Four Points

X1,…,Xn∣θX_1, \dots, X_n \mid \theta are IID with density

f(x∣θ)=θ(1−x)θ−1,0<x<1,θ>0,f(x \mid \theta) = \theta(1-x)^{\theta-1}, \qquad 0 < x < 1, \quad \theta > 0,

that is, Beta(1,θ)(1, \theta). You observe {0.5, 0.2, 0.8, 0.9}{0.5,, 0.2,, 0.8,, 0.9}:

xix_i 0.5 0.2 0.8 0.9
ln⁡xi\ln x_i -0.6931 -1.6094 -0.2231 -0.1054
ln⁡(1−xi)\ln(1 - x_i) -0.6931 -0.2231 -1.6094 -2.3026

Find the maximum likelihood estimate of θ\theta.

Answer format: round to 3 decimal places.
