Distribution of exponential order statistics

Let X1X_1 and X2X_2 be i.i.d. random variables having the common probability density function f(x)={e−x,x≥0, 0,otherwise.f(x)=\begin{cases} e^{-x}, & x\ge 0, \ 0, & \text{otherwise.} \end{cases} Define X(1)=min⁡{X1,X2}X_{(1)}=\min\{X_1, X_2\} and X(2)=max⁡{X1,X2}X_{(2)}=\max\{X_1, X_2\}. Then, which one of the following statements is FALSE?
