Let Y 1 < Y 2 < < Y n be the order statistics

Question:

Let Y1 < Y2 < · · · < Yn be the order statistics of a random sample from a uniform distribution on (0, θ), where θ > 0.
(a) Show that Λ for testing H0 : θ = θ0 against H1 : θ ≠ θ0 is Λ = (Yn/θ0)n, Yn ≤ θ0, and Λ =0 if Yn > θ0.
(b) When H0 is true, show that −2 logΛ has an exact χ2(2) distribution, not χ2(1).
