Moments of Worst-of

Is there an analytical formula for:E[ min(X,Y) ] and Var( min(X,Y) ) ?We probably need a joint distribution here, so, if that helps, we can assume a simple copula model like: U, V~i.i.d. N(0,1)I think I saw that in Rice - Statistics, but I don't have the book at handThanks,David
