If Y is a continuous random variable and m is the median of the distribution, then m is such
that P(Ym) = P(Y ≥ m) = 1/2. If Y1, Y2,..., Y, are independent, exponentially dis-
tributed random variables with mean ẞ and median m, Example 6.17 implies that Y(n) =
max(Y1, Y., Y) does not have an exponential distribution. Use the general form of FY() (y)
to show that P(Y(n) > m) = 1 - (.5)".
Refer to Exercise 6.82. If Y1, Y2,..., Y,, is a random sample from any continuous distribution
with mean m, what is P(Y(n) > m)?
Refer to Exercise 6.26. The Weibull density function is given by
-my" m-le-y/a
f(y)= α
0.
y > 0,
elsewhere,
where a and m are positive constants. If a random sample of size n is taken from a Weibull
distributed population, find the distribution function and density function for Y(1) = min(Y1,
Y2,Y). Does Y(1) = have a Weibull distribution?
Let Y1 and Y2 be independent and uniformly distributed over the interval (0, 1). Find
P(2Y(1) < Y(2)).
Let Y1, Y2,..., Y, be independent, exponentially distributed random variables with mean B.
Give the
a density function for Y(k), the kth-order statistic, where k is an integer between 1 and n.
b joint density function for Y() and Y(k) where j and k are integers 1 <j<k≤n.

Suppose that the length of time Y it takes a worker to complete a certain task has the probability
density function given by
f(y) =

where
is a positive constant that represents the minimum time until task completion. Let
Y1, Y2,..., Y, denote a random sample of completion times from this distribution. Find

b E(Y(1)).
*6.89 Let Y1, Y2,..., Y,, denote a random sample from the uniform distribution f(y) = 1,0≤ y ≤1.
Find the probability density function for the range R = Y(n) - Y(1).
