Let $X_1$ and $X_2$ be random variables with CDF $F_X$. Let $Y$ be a random variable with PDF $f_Y$. Let $X_1\perp Y$ and $X_2\perp Y$.
I know that $$P(X_1
But how to find $P(X_1>Y,X_2>Y)$? Will it be $1-P(X_1
Answer
Assuming the probability mass for $X_1=Y$ is zero, we have that $X_1>Y$ is equivalent to $\neg (X_1
Your second guess doesn't work because by finding the probability of the two conditions separately and multiplying them, you're treating them as independent. But clearly they are dependent; if $X_1>Y$, then it's more likely that $Y$ is small, which makes it more likely that $X_2>Y$.
To find the probability, just reverse the inequalities in the integrals. For instance, instead of $\int_{-\infty}^{\infty}P(X_1
