A necessary and sufficient condition that two distributions having finite means are identical is that for any fixed integer r > 0 , the expected values of their r th ( n ≫ r ) order statistics are equal [or the expected values of their ( n‐r )th ( n > r ≫ 0 ) order statistics are equal] for all n where n is the sample size.
