Abstract
Let be a sequence of independent and identically distributed random variables with continuous distribution function F(x). Denote by X(1,k),X(2,k),... the kth record values corresponding to We obtain some stochastic comparison results involving the random kth record values X(N,k), where N is a positive integer-valued random variable which is independent of the .
