<abstract>The well known Burr type X distribution is considered as a null population. Log-logistic and Weibull-Exponential (Dubey - 1966) distributions are taken as alternative populations. Two test statistics based on population quantiles, Likelihood Ratio (LR) type criteria are suggested to discriminate between the considered null and alternative populations. The percentiles of the proposed test statistics are evaluated. The performance of the test procedures are compared through the respective values of computed power functions.</abstract>
