Let X1, X2,...,Xnbe independent random variables, all with a U(0, 1) distribution. Let Z = max{X1,...,Xn} and V = min{X1,...,Xn}.
a. Compute E[max{X1, X2}] and E[min{X1, X2}].
b. Compute E[Z] and E[V ] for general n.
c. Can you argue directly (using the symmetry of the uniform distribution (see Exercise 6.3) and not the result of the computation in b) that
