What is the density of the $m$'th element of a sorted vector of $n$ uniformly distributed random variables
$X_1, X_2, ..., X_n$ are independent and uniformly distributed on $[0, 1]$. Sorting them yields a vector, whose first and last element have densities that are just the derivatives of products of CDFs.

Determine density of $\min(X,Y)$ and $\max(X,Y)$ for independently uniform distributed variables
Two independent random variables, $X$ and $Y$, are uniformly distributed on the unit interval $(-1,1)$.
Determine the density for $U=\min(X,Y)$ and for $W=\max(X,Y)$
