Summary:
The bivariate gamma distribution is taken as a life test model to analyse a series system with two dependent components $x$ and $y$. First, the distribution of a function of $x$ and $y$, that is, minimum $(x,y)$, is obtained. Next, the reliability of the component system is evaluated and tabulated for various values of the parameters. Estimates of the parameters are also obtained by using Bayesian approach. Finally, a table of the mean and variance of minimum $(x,y)$ for various values of the parameters involved is presented.
