Kochar and Xu (2009) proved that a parallel system with heterogeneous exponential component lifetimes is more skewed (according to the convex transform order) than the system with independent and identically distributed exponential components. In this paper we extend this study to the general k-out-of-n systems for the case when there are only two types of component in the system. An open problem proposed in Pǎltǎnea (2008) is partially solved.
