Q 2.5. Let X and Y be independent Exponential (A) random variables. Let M = min{X, Y} and U = max{X, Y}. 1. Compute the distribution function and probability density of M. 2. Compute the distribution function and probability density of U. 3. Compute the joint distribution function F(M,U) (x, y) of M and U, and thus deduce the joint density fM,U(x, y).
