SYNOPTIC ABSTRACT: In this article, we consider the inactivity times X(Θ1) and Y(Θ2) of two random variables X and Y at random times Θ1 and Θ2, respectively, and make stochastic comparisons of X(Θ1) and Y(Θ2) with respect to likelihood ratio, hazard rate and mean residual life orders. Here, X and Θ1 and Y and (Θ2) may be dependent random variables. We also study various ageing properties of random variable X(Θ1). The results derived here unify and extend several existing results. An application of the results derived in this paper is also illustrated. © 2017 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
