13. Let X1, X2 and X3 be independent continuous random variable's each uniformly distributed in the interval [0,20]. Think of these as arrival times of 3 people at a bus stop between 8:40 and 9:00.Let Y denote the middle of the three values. Y is always the second smallest of X1, X2 and X3, so Y = X(2).

  1. Find the joint density of X(1), X(2), and X(3) .
  2. Find the density of Y by integrating X(1) and X(3) out.
