%X This paper deals with the stress vs. strength problem incorporating multi-componentsystems viz. standby redundancy. The models developed have been illustrated assuming that allthe components in the system for both stress and strength are independent and follow differentprobability distributions viz. Exponential, Gamma and Lindley. Four different conditions forstress and strength have been considered for this investigation. Under these assumptions thereliabilities of the system have been obtained with the help of the particular forms of densityfunctions of n-standby system when all stress-strengths are random variables. The expressions forthe marginal reliabilities R(1), R(2), R(3) etc. have been derived based on its stress- strengthmodels. Then the corresponding system reliabilities Rn have been computed numerically andpresented in tabular forms for different stress-strength distributions with different values of theirparameters. Here we consider n   3 for estimating the system reliability R3.
