Let Y 1 < Y 2 < < Y n be the order statistics

Question:

Let Y1 < Y2 < · · · < Yn be the order statistics of a random sample from a N(θ, σ2), −∞ < θ < ∞, distribution. Show that the distribution of Z = Yn − ‾X does not depend upon θ. Thus ‾Y = Σn1 Yi/n, a complete sufficient statistic for θ is independent of Z.
