Abstract
A system of n non-renewable components sharing a common environment is considered. The joint lifetimes of the components are taken distributed as a mixture of n independent exponential laws. It is shown how the mixing distribution can affect the number of components functioning and the reliability of a k-out-of-n system. The analysis is carried out by using different partial orderings for distribution functions.
