Let Y1<Y2<...<Yn be the
order statistics of a random sample of size n from the distribution
having p.d.f f(x) = e-y , 0<y<, zero elsewhere. Answer the following
questions.
(a) decide whether Z1 = Y2
and Z2=Y4-Y2 are
stochastically independent or not. (hint. first find the joint
p.d.f. of Y2 and Y4)
(b) show that
Z1 = nY1, Z2=
(n-1)(Y2-Y1),
Z3=(n-2)(Y3-Y2), ....,

distribution.(hint use change of variable technique)
3) Recall the Hardy-Weinberg problem described in your text (page 273-274). The multinomial distribution for random variables Yı, Y2, Y3 (can extend to more than 3) is given by n! P(Yı y1, Y2 = y2, Y3 = ya) Ул!ур!у! Рі Р2 р. where y + y3 = n and the parameters pi,P2, P3 are subject to the constraint p1 +p2 +p3 = 1. This distribution is an extension of the binomial distribution. In fact, the distribution of each Y, i=...
