How Are PDF and CDF of Order Statistics Related?

Click For Summary
The relationship between the Probability Density Function (PDF) and Cumulative Distribution Function (CDF) of order statistics follows the same principles as for any random variable. The CDF can be expressed as the integral of the PDF, specifically F_X(x) = ∫_{-∞}^{x} f_X(t) dt. This definition applies universally, confirming that the fundamental relationship between PDF and CDF holds true for order statistics as well. Understanding this relationship is crucial for analyzing the behavior of order statistics in probability theory. The discussion reinforces the general applicability of these definitions in statistical contexts.

Hello,

Is the relation between the PDF and CDF of order statistics is as any PDF and CDF. i.e.:

F_X(x)=\int_{-\infty}^{x}f_X(t)\,dt

Yes; that's a general definition.
 
First trick I learned this one a long time ago and have used it to entertain and amuse young kids. Ask your friend to write down a three-digit number without showing it to you. Then ask him or her to rearrange the digits to form a new three-digit number. After that, write whichever is the larger number above the other number, and then subtract the smaller from the larger, making sure that you don't see any of the numbers. Then ask the young "victim" to tell you any two of the digits of the...
