Two examples illustrate the use of bivariate extremal distributions of the first type. One is the distribution of oldest ages at death for the two sexes; the other consists of the floods of the same ...

In this note it is shown that P(η - ξ > 0) can easily be calculated using tables of the bivariate normal distribution, where ξ, η are independent, ξ has a normal distribution, and η has a truncated ...
