Power and size of a min-based test for a uniform location parameter

Let X1,X2,…,XnX_1,X_2,\dots,X_n be a random sample from uniform (θ−12,θ+12)(\theta-\tfrac12,\theta+\tfrac12) distribution. Consider testing H0:θ=−12H_0:\theta=-\tfrac12 vs H1:θ=12H_1:\theta=\tfrac12. Let X(1)=min⁡{X1,…,Xn}X_{(1)}=\min\{X_1,\dots,X_n\}. Consider the test: reject H0H_0 if X(1)>0X_{(1)}>0 and accept otherwise. Then the power (p)(p) and size (s)(s) of the test (p,s)(p,s) are given by:
