Abstract
This paper deals with the conditional properties of unordered observations in a random sample given the ith order statistic of the same sample. A characterization of symmetric distribution is given based on the properties of conditional moments. It is proved that the joint distribution has negative quadrant dependence structure and an exact expression for the Pearson correlation coefficient is given. Stochastic ordering results are obtained and it is shown that some orderings are inherited by the conditional distribution of the sample values. The results are useful in studying the properties of component lifetimes of a system with n components given the ith failure time and associated repair costs.
