In the present paper, We consider a k-out-of-n system consisting of n identical components with independent lifetimes having a common distribution function F. Under the condition that, at time t, all the components of the system are working, we propose a new definition for the mean residual life (MRL) function of the system, and obtain several properties of that system.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccesscharacterizationgeneralized Pareto distributionsincreasing failure rate distributionsmean residual lifetimeorder statisticsparallel systemsAging PropertiesOrder-StatisticsDistributionsArticle10.1109/TR.2006.8749342-s2.0-33745214459
