1. Suppose X1, ..., Xn be a random sample from Exp(1) and Y1 < ... < Yn be the order statistics from this sample.

a) Find the joint pdf of (Y1, .. , Yn).

b) Find the joint pdf of (W1, .. , Wn) where W1 = nY1, W2 = (n-1)(Y2 -Y1), W3 = (n - 2)(Y3 - Y2),..., Wn-1 = 2(Yn-1 - Yn-2), Wn = Yn - Yn-1.

(c) Show that Wi's are independent and its distribution is identically Exp(1).
(d) Show that nY1 and sum(Xi-Y1) are independent.
(e) Show that sum(Xi-Y1) ~ Gamma(n - 1, 1).
(f) Using (b) and (c), compute E(Y3).
