Under the intersection null, every rejection is false, so the false-discovery proportion is and its expectation is the familywise error rate. Because the p-values are independent and exactly uniform, every super-uniform inequality in part (b) is an equality. Here , and therefore
Equivalently, the order-statistic identity in the hint gives the same equality by induction on .
