Abstract: Abstract The study on the inactivity times is useful in evaluating the aging and reliability properties of coherent systems in reliability engineering. In the present paper, we investigate the inactivity time of a coherent system consisting of n i.i.d. components. We drive some mixture representations for the reliability function of conditional inactivity times of coherent systems under two specific conditions on the status of the system components. Some ageing and stochastic properties of the proposed conditional inactivity times are also explored.
