, where xm is the (necessarily positive) minimum possible value of X, and a is a positive parameter.

(d) Let X1 and X2 are independent identically distributed random variables with Pareto distribution with parameter xm and a defined earlier. Show that the two random variables min{X1,x2} and (X1+ X2)/min{X1, X2} are independent. (10 points)
