Statistics & Probability Letters, 1992, vol. 13, issue 4, 275-278

Abstract: Inequalities and monotonicity results are obtained for order statistics from distributions ordered by dispersivity. One results solves the open problem posed by Marshall and Olkin (1979, p. 282). Applications of these results are given.
