3. (10%) Assume that X is a random variable with a probability density function f(x) that is positive and continuous when a < x < b; zero elsewhere. The distribution function F(x) of X may be written

F(x) = 0 when x ≤ a, and F(x) = 1 when x ≥b. Assume that there is a number M of the distribution with F(M)=0.3. Let X1, X2 and X3be a random sample from this distribution. LetY1<Y2 <Y3 denote the order statistics of the sample. Please compute the value of Pr(Y2 < M).
