As a special case, the first and $n$th order statistics are the minimum and maximum of the sample, while for odd $n$, the $\lceil \frac{n}{2} \rceil$th entry is the sample median. Given any univariate distribution and the sample size $n$, we can construct the distribution of its $i$th order statistic:
