文摘This paper investigates the comparison problem of the reliability index between a parallel and a cold-standby system,both of which are consisting of two identical units.On the contrary to the general intuitive result,we proved that,under the condition that the system is shocked by a Poisson stream,the life time of the parallel system is longer than that of the cold-standby one in the sense of probability.
