What is the expectation of a minimum of two uniform rvs with ranges (0, 12) and (0, 30) respectively?

What is the expectation of a minimum of two uniform rvs with ranges (0, 12) and (0, 30) respectively?

Agreed. Let X: U(0,12), Y: U(0,30) and Z =min(X,Y). The density of Z isf(z) = 7/60 - 1/180 * z, where 0 <= z <= 12.So E(Z) = 5.2.QuoteOriginally posted by: ge5.2

CMS-convexity-adjustment-formula: which one?

CMS convexity adjustment is model-dependent. I don't think there is a "standard" formula that everyone in the market uses.
