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

leva [86]

Answer:

y(.82)*1.08

Step-by-step explanation:

You multiply by .82 to get the cost of the game after the discount and then by 1.08 to add the tax and total amount.

A deli is offering two specials. The roast beef special gives a profit of $2.30 per sandwich, and the turkey special gives a pro
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

The constraints are as follows;

1) 2·x + 2·y ≤ 120

2) 3·x + 4·y ≤ 160

3) x = 2.30

4) y = 3.10

5) P = 2.3·x + 3.10

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is a word problem, with the analysis as follows;

The profit from the roast beef special per sandwich = $2.30

The profit from the turkey special per sandwich = $3.10

The number of slices of bread in the roast beef special = Two slices

The number of slices of cheese in the roast beef special = Three slices

The number of slices of bread in the turkey special = Two slices

The number of slices of cheese in the turkey special = Four slices

The number of slices of bread the deli has  = 120 slices

The number of slices of cheese the deli has = 160 slices

Let 'x' and represent the number of roast beef special and 'y' represent the number of turkey special the deli makes, then we have the constraints as follows;

For the number of slices of bread used;

2·x + 2·y ≤ 120...(1)

For the number of slices of cheese used;

3·x + 4·y ≤ 160...(2)

x = 2.30

y = 3.10

The profit 'P' is given by the following equation

P = 2.3·x + 3.10.

What is the positive solution to this equation? 4x2 + 12x = 135​
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

127/12

Step-by-step explanation:

4 × 2 + 12x = 135

(1. Simplify 4 x 2 to 8.

8 + 12x = 135

(2. Subtract 88 from both sides.

12x= 135 - 8

(3. Simplify 135 - 8 to 127

12x = 127

(4. Divide both sides by 12

x= 127/12

Decimal Form: 10.583333

I think this is the awnser, but don't quote me on that
