Suppose that n observations are chosen at random from a continuous pdf fY(y). What is the probability that the last observation recorded will be the smallest number in the sample? I asked this question earlier today, but didn't quite understand all of the response. P(y1<=yn)p(y2<=yn) and so on was used, but shouldn't the yn be listed first in the inequality since we want to know if yn is the smallest?
2) The time between successive customers coming to the market is assumed to have Exponential distribution with parameter l. a) If X1, X2, . . . , Xn are the times, in minutes, between successive customers selected randomly, estimate the parameter of the distribution. b) b) The randomly selected 12 times between successive customers are found as 1.8, 1.2, 0.8, 1.4, 1.2, 0.9, 0.6, 1.2, 1.2, 0.8, 1.5, and 0.6 mins. Estimate the mean time between successive customers, and write down the distribution function. c) In order to estimate the distribution parameter with 0.3 error and 4% risk, find the minimum sample size.

2. Suppose that at a gas station the daily demand for regular gasoline is normally distributed with a mean of 1000 gallons and a standard deviation of 100 gallons. The station manager has just opened the station for business and there is exactly 2300 gallons of regular gasoline in storage. The next delivery is scheduled later tomorrow at the close of business. (a) Let X1 and X2 denote the demand of today and tomorrow, respectively. Let X = X1 + X2. Find the distribution of X. (b) Find the probability that the manager will have enough regular gasoline to satisfy today’s and tomorrow’s demand.
Suppose that Y has an exponential distribution with mean Beta. Show that 2Y/Beta has a chi square distribution with 2 degrees of freedom.
The following data consists of the times to relapse and the times to death following relapse of 10 bone marrow transplant patients. In the sample patients 4 and 6 were alive in relapse at the end of the study and patients 7–10 were alive, free of relapse at the end of the study. Suppose the time to relapse had an exponential distribution with hazard rate lambda and the time to death in relapse had a Weibull distribution with parameters theta and alpha (a) Construct the likelihood for the relapse rate lambda. (c) Suppose we were only allowed to observe a patients death time if the patient relapsed. Construct the likelihood for theta and alpha based on this truncated sample
Suppose that the random variables X1,...,Xn form a random sample of size n from the uniform distribution on the interval [0, 1]. Let Y1 = min{X1,. . .,Xn}, and let Yn = max{X1,...,Xn}. Find E(Y1) and E(Yn).
Suppose the distribution of the time $X$ (in hours) spent by students at a certain university on a particular project is gamma with parameters $\alpha=50$ and $\beta=2 .$ Because $\alpha$ is large, it can be shown that $X$ has approximately a normal distribution. Use this fact to compute the approximate probability that a randomly selected student spends at most 125 hours on the project.
