Under normal driving conditions, car tires can generate a fiction coefficient of approximately 0.7. Antilock braking systems can increase the effective coefficient of friction to as high as 1.0. For car traveling 65 miles an hour, determine the stopping distance for coefficients of friction of 0.7 and 1.0. How much more time do antilock brakes give the driver to respond. Also, why have antilock brakes not produced reductions in crash rates that were anticipated from this calculation?

  1. Calculate relative frequencies for; Overall Type of Calls, Call Quality and Call Errors.
  2. Calculate the following probabilities:
    • CLM Error and AM Shift
    • COV Error and PM Shift
    • SAV Error or AM Shift
    • Given that the call comes in the morning, what is the probability of a CLM Error
  3. NARRATIVE: Based upon the probabilities in step 2, which error(s) should the company focus on for improvement? Should they direct their attention to a particular shift?
  4. If a sample size of 15 is used and we assume calls are either correct we can model the call quality using a binomial distribution. Based upon the probability of an error (provided in the Quality Summary under Call Quality), predict the probability of:
    • Exactly 0 errors occurring in 15 calls
    • Less than 2 errors occurring in 15 calls
    • 5 or more errors occurring in 15 calls
  5. Provide Descriptive Statistics for Call Time to include; Mean, Standard Deviation and the 5-number summary.
  6. Using the Call Time Mean and Standard Deviation from the Quality Sample, find the probability of a call time less than 7 minutes, between 7 and 9 minutes, and greater than 9 minutes.
  7. NARRATIVE: From past research the company knows that customers expect to have their calls handled without error and within approximately 7.5 minutes on the phone. Use the information from steps 4-6 to evaluate how well the company is meeting these expectations.
