    The question talks about complaints received at some complaints department.

    The complaints are:

    Straightforward, or
    Of Medium difficulty, or
    Complicated

    The question then says that responses (in person days) to these complaints follow exponential distributions with parameters 2 for straightforward, 1 for medium and 0.25 for complicated.

    Which doesn't make sense to me - I mean, it sounds like it's saying that a complicated complaint takes the least amount of time (0.25 days per response) to respond to and a straightforward one takes the most amount of time (2 days per response)

    The solution suggests that I am reading thins incorrectly but I still can't seem to see why.

    Can anyone explain this please?
