In this study, we will look at a new flexible model known as the new double-weighted Weibull distribution. The new Weibull double-weighted distribution model is highly versatile because numerous submodels are included. The proposed model is very flexible because its density function has many shapes; it can be right skewness, decreasing, and unimodal. Also, the hazard rate function can be increasing, decreasing, up-side-down, and J-shaped. Diverse features of the novel are computed. These qualities include moments, incomplete moments, and Lorenz and Bonferroni curves and quantiles, as well as entropy and order statistics. The maximum likelihood approach is used to estimate the model's parameters. In order to evaluate the accuracy and performance of maximum likelihood estimators, simulation data are presented. The utility and adaptability of the proposed model are demonstrated by utilizing three significant datasets: daily fatalities confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Egypt and Georgia and relief times of twenty patients using an analgesic.
