Probability theory...
So we were given some practise problems for the exam...
in it, we got a question that we have NEVER seen in class nor can I find it in the textbook.
The question is:
Find P(min(X, Y ) > x) and hence give the probability density function of U =
min(X, Y ).
Okay.. so i know how to answer it.. i think.. he gave us a solution...
But just what on Earth does P(min(X, Y ) > x) mean? could their be P(max(X, Y ) > x) and if so, what does that mean?
Somebody care to take a moment and explain please?
Thanks
