Let X1, . . . , Xn be conditionally i.i.d. with the uniform distribution on the interval

Question:

Let X1, . . . , Xn be conditionally i.i.d. with the uniform on the interval [0, θ]. Let Yn = max{X1, . . . , Xn}.
a. Find the p.d.f. and the quantile function of Yn/θ.
b. Yn is often used as an estimator of θ even though it has bias. Compute the bias of Yn as an estimator of θ.
c. Prove that Yn/θ is a pivotal.
d. Find a confidence interval for θ with coefficient γ.
