Let Y denote the monthly stipend (in hundreds of dollars) of a randomly selected graduate
student receiving a fellowship. Suppose Y follows a uniform distribution on the interval
[500,500 +0], where > 0. The probability density function is given by:
f(y; 0) = {1/0,
500 ≤ y ≤ 500+ 0
otherwise
A random sample of n students is collected, Y₁, Y2,, Y.
