### 6.2.3. Problem Statement

Given the probability density function (pdf):

\[
f(x; \theta) = \frac{1}{\pi [1 + (x - \theta)^2]}, \quad -\infty < x < \infty, \quad -\infty < \theta < \infty,
\]

show that the Rao–Cramér lower bound is \(2/n\), where \(n\) is the size of a random sample from this Cauchy distribution. 

What is the asymptotic distribution of \(\sqrt{n}(\hat{\theta} - \theta)\) if \(\hat{\theta}\) is the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) of \(\theta\)?
