If Y is a continuous random variable and m is the median of the distribution, then m is such
that P(Ym) = P(Y ≥ m) = 1/2. If Y₁, Y2,..., Y, are independent, exponentially dis-
tributed random variables with mean ẞ and median m, Example 6.17 implies that Y(n) =
max(Y₁, Y., Y) does not have an exponential distribution. Use the general form of FY() (y)
to show that P(Y(n) > m) = 1 - (.5)".
Refer to Exercise 6.82. If Y₁, Y2,..., Y,, is a random sample from any continuous distribution
with mean m, what is P(Y(n) > m)?

distributed population, find the distribution function and density function for Y(1) = min(Y1,
Y2,Y). Does Y(1) = have a Weibull distribution?

- Please solve the following Probability problem. Show all work and solve all parts that are asked: HW 1.y.(Yutnori) Yutnori is played by 2 (groups of) players on a gameboard with pieces thatmove around. Each player takes turns throwing yut sticks - each stick hastwo sides, round and flat, which makes the stick roll. Five combinationsare possible with yut sticks: do, gae, geol, yut and mo. A player achievinga yut or mo is allowed to roll again. Combinations and the number ofmoves they allow on the gameboard are presented in Figure 3 (flat sideup is blank and round side up is filled with x-es). Assuming each of the 4 Yut sticks falls on both of its sides with equalprobability, what is the probability that:a) you roll a yut?b) you roll a geol ?c) you get a second roll?d) you move 6 spaces in your first turn?In reality, a typical Yut stick is designed so that the probability of flat sidefacing up is around 60%.
