Re: Order statistic
I am a Statistician / psychologist who can help you with your statistics and statistical design in spss, amos, statistica, Econometrics, minitab, stata, r, gpower (in psychometrics, psychology, sociology, marketing, statistics, or psychometrics) as well with the whole project (master, bachelor, dissertation). Regression, ttests, factorial analysis, correlation, time series, cluster analysis, cross tabulation, Discriminant Function Analysis, Hierarchical Linear Modeling, Significance Testing, path analysis, anova, ancova, glm, non-parametric (e.g. bootstrap), reliability, standardization, validity, mediation and moderation analyses can be done. Normality check as well plagiarism check is offered. We can also evaluate questionnaires. Private lessons are offered also using skype.

Find the probability that the first order statistic $Y_1$ and the fifth order statistic $Y_5$ differ from $\mu_{\bar{X}}$ by less than $\sigma_{\bar{X}}$.

$f_X(x)=\frac{1}{b-a}=\frac{1}{6-3} = \frac{1}{3} , \hspace{0.5cm} 3

$F_X(x)=\int^{t=x}_{t=3}\frac{1}{3} dt = \frac{t}{3}\vert^{t=x}_{t=3} = \frac{x}{3}-1 , \hspace{0.5cm} 3

$\mu = \frac{a+b}{2} = \frac{3+6}{2} = \frac{9}{2} = 4.5$

$\sigma^{\color{red}{2}\color{black}} = \frac{(b-a)^2}{12} = \frac{(6-3)^2}{12} = \frac{9}{12} = 0.75 \implies \sigma=\sqrt{0.75}$

$\mu_{\bar{X}} = \mu = 4.5$

$\sigma_{\bar{X}} = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} = \frac{\sqrt{0.75}}{\sqrt{5}} = \sqrt{0.15} \approx 0.3873$

$P\left(\left[|Y_1-\mu_{\bar{X}}| < \sigma_{\bar{X}}\right] \cap \left[|Y_5-\mu_{\bar{X}}| < \sigma_{\bar{X}}\right] \right) \approx P\left(\left[4.1127 < Y_1 < 4.8873\right] \cap \left[4.1127 < Y_5 < 4.8873\right] \right)$

If both the sample min and sample max of the $X_i$s are bounded by 4.1127 and 4.8873, then all $X_i$s from the sample are bounded by 4.1127 and 4.8873.

Thus,

$P\left(\left[4.1127 < Y_1 < 4.8873\right] \cap \left[4.1127 < Y_5 < 4.8873\right] \right) = P\left(\left[4.1127 < X_1 < 4.8873\right] \cap \left[4.1127 < X_2 < 4.8873\right] \cap \cdots \cap \left[4.1127 < X_5 < 4.8873\right]\right)$

Since the $X_i$s are independent, we can rewrite the right-hand side from above as

$P\left(4.1127 < X_1 < 4.8873\right) \cdot P\left(4.1127 < X_2 < 4.8873\right) \cdot \cdots \cdot P\left(4.1127 < X_5 < 4.8873\right)$ ,

or, equivalently,

$\left[P\left(4.1127 < X_1 < 4.8873\right)\right]^5$,

which is,

$\tiny{\left[F_X(4.8873) - F_X(4.1127)\right]^5 = \left[\left(\frac{4.8873}{3}-1\right) - \left(\frac{4.1127}{3}-1\right)\right]^5 \approx 0.2582^5 \approx 0.00115}$.
