Develop a 700-word report including the following calculations and using the information to determine whether the new billing system has reduced the mean bill payment time: Assuming the standard deviation of the payment times for all payments is 4.2 days, construct a 95% confidence interval estimate to determine whether the new billing system was effective. State the interpretation of 95% confidence interval and state whether or not the billing system was effective. Using the 95% confidence interval, can we be 95% confident that µ ≤ 19.5 days? Using the 99% confidence interval, can we be 99% confident that µ ≤ 19.5 days? If the population mean payment time is 19.5 days, what is the probability of observing a sample mean payment time of 65 invoices less than or equal to 18.1077 days?

Managing uncertainty really comes down to one word and that is volatility. How does a company manage uncertain events that may be (and usually are) out of their control? However, this does not mean that a company is helpless and should sit idly by. There are actions we can take. For example, in Module 02 we discussed Risk Transfer. This represents one way to deal with uncertainty.

For your initial post, discuss two or three ways to manage uncertainty and explain your selection.

In your subsequent post(s), discuss how managing uncertainty may have some unintended consequences such as creating other risks.
