Cats to dogs means that the first number is cats and the second number is dogs. Thus, you have the ratios 2 cats to 5 dogs and 5 cats to 2 dogs which are different.

If they are both ratios of cats to dogs, with the ratio 2 to 5 it would mean there are 2.5x more dogs then there are cats, but with the ratio 5 to 2 it would mean there are 2.5x more cats than there are dogs, in which they are both different.

siniylev [52]

Answer:

The difference is 3 papers per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you make turn the 10 minutes to 60 minutes by multiplied by 6 and the same to three and you would get 18 paper per hour. Next, you simplify the 8 minute rate to 1 paper in 4 minutes then multiply the 4 by 15 = 60 minutes then the same to the 1 equal to 15 paper per hour. Finally, you subtract 18 - 15 = 3 paper.

Suppose customers in a certain queue are served one at a time sequentially, that the time for each individual customer is Expone

alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

The shape and rate parameters are $\frac{1}{12}$ and $3$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X = service time for each individual.

The average service time is, β = 12 minutes.

The random variable follows an Exponential distribution with parameter, $\lambda=\frac{1}{\beta}=\frac{1}{12}$ .

The service time for the next 3 customers is,

Z = X₁ + X₂ + X₃

All the X $_{i}$ 's are independent Exponential random variable.

The sum of independent Exponential random variables is known as a Gamma or Erlang random variable.

The random variable Z follows a Gamma distribution with parameters (α, n).

The parameters are:

$\alpha =\lambda=\frac{1}{12}\\n=3$

Thus, the shape and rate parameters are $\frac{1}{12}$ and $3$ .

Broderick deposits $6,000 in an account that earns 5.5% simple interest paid annually. How long will it be before the total amou

emmainna [20.7K]

i=prt
where i is interest (9000-6000 = $3000 interest)
p is principle ($6000)
r is rate (5.5%) [taking that its 5.5%pa]
t is time

substitute these into the equation
3000 = $6000 x 5.5% x t
t = 3000 divided by (6000x5.5%)
= 3000 divided by 330
t=100/11 years
it would take 100/11 years which is approx 9.1 years
