Discuss the following:
Q1: Joint pdf of a sample maximum and minimum is as below
f(a,b)=n(n-1)[F(b)-F(a)]n-2 f(a)f(b)
Where a < b
Find the joint pdf of the largest and smallest observations , denoted A(n) and A(1) respectively, in a sample of n drawn from the pdf below:
f(a)=(k+1)ak/ck+1
Where 0≤ a ≤ c
