Abstract: In this study, a new probability distribution called the serial Weibull Rayleigh distribution has been proposed and its mathematical properties derived. An application of the new distribution using a real lifetime dataset revealed that the new distribution provides a better fit compared to other candidate distributions.

Keywords: serial Weibull Rayleigh distribution; reliability; moments; order statistics; probability distribution.
