Statistics- unbiased estimator #3

[Roni1985]

Homework Statement

Suppose that n=5 observations are taken from the uniform pdf, f_Y=1/$$\Theta$$ 0<y<$$\Theta$$
where $$\Theta$$ is unknown. Two unbiased estimators for $$\Theta$$ are

$$\Theta$$₁= (6/5)*Y_max
$$\Theta$$₂= (6)*Y_min

which estimator would be better to use? hint: What must be true of Var(Ymax) and Var(Ymin) given that fy is symmetric ? Does your answer as to which estimator is better make sense on intuitive grounds ? Explain.

Homework Equations

Var(Y)=E[Y²] - E[Y]²

Y_min=n*(1-F_Y(y))^n-1f_Y(y)

Y_max=n*(F_Y(y))^n-1f_Y(y)

The Attempt at a Solution

I'm trying to calculate the variances of both the estimators and see which one is smaller.
But, there is the extra information like, n=5 and that the distribution is symmetric, and I'm sure I need to use it.
Plus, I don't know how to answer it on intuitive grounds.
Would appreciate any help.
Thanks.

EDIT:

Now, I am still trying to solve it, and if I know that the distribution is symmetric, the variance of Ymin and Ymax are the same.
However, since the first estimator is divided by 5, we know that it's 1/25 of the variance of the second estimator.
Can I say this ? Is this the"on intuitive grounds" answer that they are asking ?
What about the sample size n=5 ? what do I do with it ?

Thanks
