The following measurements were recorded for the duration, in seconds, of phone calls in a call-center of a major corporation:

30        32        27        20

32        30        26        30

33 29

1. the mode of the dataset is:

  1. 26 s                  b)   27 s           c)   30 s           d)   32 s           e)    33 s
  1. The median of the dataset is:
  1. 30.15 s             b)   28.9 s        c)   30 s           d)   28.9 s2       e)   30 s2

  1. The mean of the duration of the phone call is:
  1. 30.15 s2           b)   28.9 s        c)   30.15 s      d)   30 s           e)    28.9 s2
  1. The variance of the dataset is:
  1. 28.9 s               b)   14.54 s      c)   3.81 s        d)   14.54 s2     e)   3.81 s2

  1. The third quartile of the dataset is:
  1. 20 s                  b)   27 s           c)   30 s           d)   32 s           e)   33 s
  1. the 20% trimmed mean is:
  1. 28.67 s             b)   29.67 s     c)   28.5 s        d)   29.5 d        e)   30 s

The two events A and B are independent. Hence:

  1. The relation P[A] = P[A|B] necessarily applies.
  1. True                b)   False
  1. The relation P[B] = P[B|A] necessarily applies.
  1. True                b)   False
  1. The relation P[A∩B] = P[A]P[B] necessarily applies.
  1. True                b)   False
  1. The relation P[A∩B] = Ø necessarily applies.
  1. True                b)   False
  1. If A and B are also mutually exclusive, then the relation P[A∩B] = Ø necessarily applies.
  1. True                b)   False
  1. If A and B are also mutually exclusive, then P[A U B] =P[A] + P[B] necessarily applies.
  1. True                b)   False

A financial call center receives customer calls at every 15 seconds. The call center trains customer service representatives (CSRs) in a way that they take an average of 7.5 minutes to process a call. Caller inter-arrival and processing times are exponentially distributed. Currently, the call center employs 42 CSRs and pays each CSR $15 per hour including benefits. The center estimates that it loses $1 for each minute a customer is on hold, in terms of the negative impact on...

2. A simple random sample of 50 calls is monitored at an in-bound call center and the average length of the calls is 6 minutes. The population standard deviation σ is unknown. Instead the sample standard deviation s is also calculated from the sample and is found to be 4 minutes. a. Construct a 99% confidence interval (using the t-distribution) for the average length of inbound calls. b. What is the margin of error at the 95% confidence level?
