| May 6, 2013 at 20:58 | comment | added | Douglas Zare | @Mike Jury: That variables $X_1, X_2, Y$ are independent doesn't mean events such as $Y \gt X_1$ and $Y \gt X_2$ are independent. | |
| May 6, 2013 at 19:58 | comment | added | Mike Jury | Maybe I'm misunderstanding your question, but if everything's independent, isn't the probability of $Y> max(X_1,\dots X_N)$ just the product of the probabilities of the independent events $Y>X_j$, $j=1, \dots N$? | |
