Range for random sequence

liuguangxi · Probability ·

There are n (n>1) independent and identically distributed random variables whose cumulative distribution function is F(x)={0:x<0x2:0x11:x>1 Let R be the range for this random variables (difference between maximum and minimum). Let E(n) be the expected value of R. Obviously E(n) is between 0 and 1, furthermore it is rational number. You are given E(2)=4/15 and E(3)=2/5.

Find E(20). Give your answer rounded to 10 digits after the decimal point.


Thanks to baihacker for the idea.
