4. Suppose that X and Y are independent and follow an exponential distri- bution with parameter A. Show that the random variable Z min X,Y also follows an exponential distribution, with parameter 2λ. (hint: we have min(X, Y\ 2 z if and only if X 2 z and Y2 2)
Will thumbs up if done neatly and
correctly!
