Let X denote the data transfer time (ms) in a grid computing system (the time required for data transfer) between a "worker" com

puter and a "master" computer. Suppose that X has a gamma distribution with mean value 37.5 ms and standard deviation 21.6 (suggested by an article)a. what are the values of alpha and beta?b. what is the probability that data transfer time exceeds 50ms?c. what is the probability that data transfer time is between 50 and 75 ms?please include worked out solutions so that I can follow them easier to understand better! Thank you!

Answer:

a. The value of alpha is 3.014 and the value of beta is 12.442

b. The probability that data transfer time exceeds 50ms is 0.238

c. The probability that data transfer time is between 50 and 75 ms is 0.176

Step-by-step explanation:

a. According to the given data we have that the mean and standard deviation of the random variable X are 37.5 ms and 21.6.

Therefore, E(X)=37.5 and V(X)=(21.6)∧2  

To calculate alpha we would have to use the following formula:

alpha=E(X)∧2/V(X)

alpha=(37.5)∧2/21.6∧2

alpha=1,406.25 /466.56

​alpha=3.014

To calculate beta we would have to use the following formula:

β=  V(X) ∧2/E(X)

β=(21.6)  ∧2/37.5

β=466.56 /37.5

β=12.442

b. E(X)=37.5 and V(X)=(21.6)∧2  

Therefore, P(X>50)=1−P(X≤50)

Hence, To calculate the probability that data transfer time exceeds 50ms we use the following formula:

P(X>50)=1−P(X≤50)

=1−0.762

=0.238

The probability that data transfer time exceeds 50ms is 0.238

c. E(X)=37.5 and V(X)=(21.6)∧2  

​Therefore, P(50<X<75)=P(X<75)−P(X<50)  

Hence, To calculate the probability that data transfer time is between 50 and 75 ms we use the following formula:

P(50<X<75)=P(X<75)−P(X<50)

=0.938−0.762

=0.176

​

The probability that data transfer time is between 50 and 75 ms is 0.176

What are three ratios equvilent to 8:20
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiplying or dividing each part of the ratio gives an equivalent ratio

Given

8 : 20 ← divide both parts by 2

= 4 : 10 ← divide both parts by 2

= 2 : 5 ← ratio in simplest form

Multiply both parts by 2

8 : 20 = 16 : 40

4 : 10, 2 : 5, 16: 40 ← are possible equivalent ratios

Write an equation for the line perpendicular to the line y= -2/3+7 which passes through the point (-5,6)
zysi [14]
Y = -2/3x + 7.....the slope here is -2/3. A perpendicular line will have a negative reciprocal slope. All tht means is take the original slope, flip it, and change the sign. So we take -2/3....flip it making it -3/2.....change the sign making it 3/2. So ur perpendicular line will have a slope of 3/2.

y = mx + b
slope(m) = 3/2
(-5,6)....x = -5 and y = 6
now sub and find b, the y int
6 = 3/2(-5) + b
6 = -15/2 + b
6 + 15/2 = b
12/2 + 15/2 = b
27/2 = b
so ur perpendicular equation is : y = 3/2x + 27/2 <==

A food service in the mall prepares free samples of chicken to give out during dinner time. One hour later, the food service has
jeka94

The food service gave out 80 samples, which is 4 fewer than 70% of the total number of samples they prepared. Lets make x the total number of samples they prepared.

So lets write it as an equation

80 = (70% of x) -4

70% converts to a decimal by moving the decimal point 2 spaces up, so it is 0.7

80 = 0.7x-4

Add 4 to both sides of the equation

84 = 0.7x

Divide both sides by 0.7 to isolate the x

x = 120

The food service prepared 120 samples.
