摘要
Let X-lambda 1,,...,X-lambda n, be independent random variables such that X-lambda has exponential distribution with hazard rate lambda(i), i=1,..., n. It is shown that Sigma(i=1)(n) X-lambda l is more dispersed than Sigma(i=1)(n)X(lambda l)* if(lambda(1),...,lambda(n)) majorizes (lambda(1)*,...,lambda(n)*). (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V.
