As mentioned, parameters are critical. The other thing to consider is that sometimes more than one missile is fired at a target. If the first missile hits, the other counts as a miss when you look at the overall hit ratio. Stupid, I think.

About three F-35's for a single F-22A.
That depends on what numbers you use. Some "per frame" numbers show the F-35 costing about 3/4 of an F-22, which is absolutely inexcusable.
