A mixture of Weibull distribution, involving two shape parameters, two scale parameters, and one proportionality parameter, is simulated through the statistical software MINITAB (1996). The two methods Graphical (Kao, 1959) and moments based (Fall, 1970) are applied to estimate the underlying five parameters of mixed Weibull distribution in order to find the accuracy and precision of the estimator.
