摘要
It is shown that the total life of a parallel system with independent and identical (i.i.d.) exponential components is smaller in the right spread order than an exponential life with the sane mean as the system. As applications, simple upper bounds for the mean and the variance of the life length of a parallel system with i.i.d. NBUE components are established, as well as the preservation property of the convolution of NBUE and exponential randorn variables.
