    The document describes a random variable X that follows a Weibull distribution with density function f(x) = (m/a)(x/a)^(m-1)e^(-x/a)^m, where a and m are positive scale and shape parameters. It asks to find the density function for Y1, the minimum of a random sample of size n from the Weibull distribution, and determine if Y1 also follows a Weibull distribution.

    1. Let random variable X follows Weibull distribution.

    The density function is given by

    where 𝑎 and 𝑚 are positive constants. Note that 𝑎 and 𝑚 are scale and shape parameters
    respectively. If a random sample of size 𝑛 is taken from Weibull distributed population,
    find the density function for 𝑌1 = min⁡(𝑋1 , 𝑋2 , …⁡, 𝑋𝑛 ) . Does 𝑌1 have a Weibull
    distribution? (6 marks)
