The study aims to model and estimate the reliability function for 2-out-of-3 system using Freund bivariate model. Reliability estimators are obtained using MLE and Bayes approaches using data of lifetime performance study. The limiting distribution of maximum likelihood estimators is obtained. The computation and comparison of two estimators is carried out through simulation studies. The results showed that MLEs perform better than Bayes estimator in terms of mean absolute bias.
