1. [Independent Random Variables] Suppose that X and Y are independent exponentially distributed random variables with parameters A and u respectively. Let U = min(X, Y), and V = max(X, Y). (a) Find the marginal pdfs of U and V. (b) Are U and V independent? (c) Let W = V -U. Prove that W and U are independent. (Hint: to find the joint cdf of U and W, partition the space based on whether U = X or U = Y.)
