In this paper, it is shown that a convolution of uniform distributions (a) is more dispersed and (b) has a smaller hazard rate when the scale parameters of the uniform distributions are more dispersed in the sense of majorization. It is also shown that a convolution of gamma distributions with a com

We obtain some new results on normalized spacings of independent exponential random variables with possibly different scale parameters. It is shown that the density functions of the individual normalized spacings in this case are mixtures of exponential distributions and, as a result, they are log-c
