I'm unsure of how to go about the following so any help would be appreciated!
Let X and Y be independent random variables with an exponential distribution with parameters µ and λ (note that the exponential distribution is given by f(x) = λe^(-λx). Let U = min{X,Y} and V = max{X,Y}. Also, let W = V - U.
Show that U and W are independent.
