Congratulations to Mirza Uzair Baig at the University of Hawai’i at Mānoa, who wrote an excellent solution to the problem.
Note that the statistic Tn may be represented as
\[ T_n = I_{Y_{(1)} < X_{(1)}, Y_{(n)} < X_{(n)}}\, \bigg [\sum_{i = 1}^n
I_{Y_i < X_{(1)}} + \sum_{i = 1}^n I_{X_i > Y_{(n)}}\bigg ]\]
\[+ \,I_{X_{(1)} < Y_{(1)}, X_{(n)} < Y_{(n)}}\, \bigg [\sum_{
i = 1}^n I_{X_i < Y_{(1)}} + \sum_{i = 1}^n I_{Y_i > X_{(n)}}\bigg ].\]
Denote the empirical CDF of $X_1, \cdots , X_n$ by $F_n$…
