Let Y1<Y2<...<Yn be the order statistics of a random sample of size n from the distribution...

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<gif.latex?%5Cinfty, 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), ...., Zn=Yn-Yn-1

are stocahstically independent and that each Zi has the exponential distribution.(hint use change of variable technique)
