probability of X's (Posted on 2006-08-23)

Suppose X1, ..., Xn are independent, identically distributed, purely continuous random variables, find P(X1<...<Xn).

Is the result the same if the random variables are not purely continuous?

When X(1), X(2), ...., X(n) are purely continuous random variables, then:

P(X(1) < X(n)) = 1/n!
