Abstract
This study aims to investigate the reliability properties of the systems constituted of three identical components that are dependent of each other. Besides this, it is studied to compare between the lifetimes of such systems in the sense of hazard rate ordering. Illustrative examples are given by considering some trivariate exponential distributions that are commonly used in reliability literature for the joint distribution of the component lifetimes.
