This paper gives alternative straightforward and simpler proofs of some of the results of Laurent's [10], and Likes' [11], [13]. The derivation of the results is simplified by using the theory of Dirichlet's multiple integral and the transformation used to derive this multiple integral. Some applications of Dirichlet's transformation to order statistic theory from gamma, and normal populations, have been already given by Kabe [7].
