Chapter 5: Problem 6
Let \(X_{1}, X_{2}, \ldots, X_{n}\) be a random sample from a continuous type
distribution.
(a) Find \(P\left(X_{1} \leq X_{2}\right), P\left(X_{1} \leq X_{2}, X_{1} \leq
X_{3}\right), \ldots, P\left(X_{1} \leq X_{i}, i=2,3, \ldots, n\right)\)
(b) Suppose the sampling continues until \(X_{1}\) is no longer the smallest
observation, (i.e., \(\left.X_{j}
