Problem 76E

Let Y1, Y2, . . . , Yn be independent, uniformly istributed random variables on the interval [0, θ].

a Find the density function of Y(k), the kth-order statistic, where k is an integer between 1 and n.

b Use the result from part (a) to find E(Y(k) ).

c Find V (Y(k) ).

d Use the result from part (c) to find E(Y(k) Y(k−1) ), the mean difference between two successive order statistics. Interpret this result.
