Abstract

In this paper t he minimum variance unbiased, maximum likelihood and empirical estimators of the probability $P_r$ ($X_1<Y<X_2$) are obtained, where $X_1$, $X_2$ and Y are mutually independent exponential random variables. Comparison of estimators is discussed in the last section for illustraition.
