Homework Statement


Let [itex]{U_k}_{k \in \mathbb{N}}[/itex] be i.i.d from the uniform (0,1) distribution.
I need a formula for the cumulative distribution function of [itex]X_n[/itex], defined as
[itex]X_n := n* \min(U_1, \ldots ,U_n)[/itex]

Also some advice for [itex]X_n := \sqrt{n}* \min(U_1, \ldots ,U_n)[/itex] would be appreciated.

[itex]*[/itex] is meant to be multiplication..

Homework Equations


The Attempt at a Solution


Know already that [itex]P(min(U_1, \ldots ,U_n) \leq x) = 1 - (1-x)^n[/itex]

Sorry to bump this thread,but I still haven't figured it out. Does anyone know how to find it?
