Abstract
The sine distribution can be added to the short list of teaching examples for which exact moment properties of extreme order statistics can be expressed in terms of elementary functions and for which the limiting joint distribution of extreme order statistics is easy to derive.Asymptotic efficiency of the midrange relative to the sample average, as unbiased estimators of the population mean, is very different from that attained for the rectangular distribution.
