1.17 Let X1, X2, and X3 be mutually independent random variables with the following probability
density functions:
fx, (x1) = 1
0 < x1 < 1,
fx, (x2) = 2x2
0 < x2 < 1,
and
fx, (x3) = 2(1- x3)
0 < x3 < 1.
Find the population variance of the second order statistic X(2) by analytic methods, and
support your result via a Monte Carlo simulation.
