Question
The proportion of rats that successfully complete a designed experiment (e.g., running through a maze)
is of interest for psychologists. Denote by Y the proportion of rats that complete the experiment, and
suppose that the experiment is replicated in 10 different rooms. Assume that Y₁, Y2,..., Y10 are i.i.d.
Beta random variables with a = 2 and B = 1. Recall that for this Beta model, the pdf is
fy(y)=
J2y if 0<y<1,
°°
otherwise.
(a) Find the pdf of Y(10), the largest order statistic.
(b) Calculate P(Y(10) > 0.9).
