Jul 7, 2017 at 9:35 comment added user164144 You mean substitute the 1st and nth order stats to the equation and simplify it to find the pdf? Yeah, i did that too. What I was saying is that I'd like to be able to derive the pdf the way i was trying to above.
Jul 7, 2017 at 9:00 comment added Glen_b Again, I wasn't suggesting you memorize it; I was suggesting you use substitution into it.
Jul 7, 2017 at 4:24 comment added user164144 I meant the form of the joint order stat pdf in the wiki page that you have which even when limited to f(min,max) is quite long (unless I am not understanding your suggestion correctly).
Jul 7, 2017 at 4:20 comment added Glen_b I'm not sure that there's anything to memorize in my suggestion. You can simply obtain the solution to your specific problem from the solution to a more general one by substitution.
Jul 7, 2017 at 4:16 comment added user164144 @Glen_b Thanks. I'm trying to avoid needing to memorize too many things though. Is there still anything wrong with my new representation for $Pr(Z<z, W<w)$?

Jul 7, 2017 at 3:40 comment added Glen_b Wikipedia gives the general case of the joint distribution of two order statistics for iid sampling from a continuous distribution in its article on order statistics, in the section titled The joint distribution of the order statistics of an absolutely continuous distribution.
