Hi,
I need some help with this problem. I think my main issue is that I'm not sure how to being thinking about it.
Originally, I thought the distribution would be 1/n since it's a uniform distribution. But that doesn't take into account the variable Y, which is what I'm supposed to find the distribution for.
Any help would be great.
Thanks!
Let X1, X2, . . . , Xn be n mutually independent random variables, each of which is uniformly distributed on the integers from 1 to k. Let Y denote the minimum of the Xi’s. Find the distribution of Y .
