The problem of partitioning a set of normal populations with respect to one control has been considered by Tong (1969). This note points at the possibility of using two controls which gives a partitioning into three disjoint groups. The procedure utilizes Tong's tables. It is also stated that the procedure can be used for mixed randomized block designs with a certain symmetry. An extension to more than two controls is also mentioned.

In this paper, confidence bounds on the reliability of a serial system composed of exponential subsystems are considered. Both the classical and the Bayesian analyses are discussed. The main result is that for the case in which there are no previous data, then there are no prior distributions on the subsystem reliabilities that are independent of current data and that yield the uniformly most accurate unbiased confidence bounds available through classical techniques.
