    Bayes estimators of the parameters and reliability function are obtained for a mixture of two time-censored Weibull life distributions and the estimates compared with their maximum likelihood counterparts. Credible and highest posterior density intervals for the shape, intensity and mixture parameters are derived and the corresponding posterior distributions plotted. A numerical example is given.
