A credit card company receives numerous phone calls throughout the day from customers reporting fraud and billing disputes. Most

of these callers are put "on hold" until a company operator is free to help them. The company has determined that the length of time a caller is on hold is normally distributed with a mean of 2.5 minutes and a standard deviation 0.5 minutes. If 1.5% of the callers are put on hold for longer than x minutes, what is the value of x? Use Excel, and round your answer to two decimal places.

Answer:

3.59 minutes

Explanation:

We solve this question using z score formula

Using Excel

Z-SCORE= (DataPoint-AVERAGE(DataSet))/STDEV(DataSet)

IN EXCEL,

AVERAGE, an excel function that calculates the Average of data set

STDEV.S: calculates the standard deviation while treating the data as a ‘sample’ of a population.

STDEV.P: This function calculates the standard deviation while treating the data as the entire population.

Z score formula = x - μ/σ

x = ?? μ = 2.5 minutes σ = 0.5 minutes

We are asked : If 1.5% of the callers are put on hold for longer than x minutes, what is the value of x?

Hence, Longer than = Greater than =

100 - 1.5%

= 100 - 0.015

= 0.985 ( 98.5%)

Using Excel we calculate = z score for 98.5 percentile

= 2.1701

Z score = x - μ/σ

2.1701 = x - 2.5/0.5

2.1701 × 0.5 = x - 2.5

1.08505 = x - 2.5

x = 1.08505 + 2.5

x = 3.58505

Approximately to 2 decimal places = 3.59 minutes

Therefore, 1.5% of the callers are put on hold for longer than 3.59 minutes.

avanturin [10]

Answer:

Following are the program in C++ language

#include<iostream> // header file

using namespace std; // namespace std

int reverse(int n1); // function prototype

int main()  // main function()

{

   int num; // Variable declaration

   cout << "Enter the number" << endl;

   cin >> num; // Read the number bu the user

  cout<<"After Reverse the digit:\n";

   int res= reverse(num); // calling function reverse

   

   cout<<res; // display  

}

int reverse(int n1) // function definition of reverse

{

   if (n1<10)  // checking the base condition

       {

           return n1;

       }

   else

       {

           cout << n1 % 10; // Printed the last digit

          return reverse(n1/10); // calling itsself

}

}

Output:

Enter the number:

76538

After Reverse the digit:

83567

Explanation:

Following are the description of the program

  • In the main function read the number by user in the "num" variable of int type.
  • Calling the reverse and pass that "num" variable into it.
  • After calling the control moves to the body of the reverse function.In this function we check the two condition

        1  base condition

   if (n1<10)  // checking the base condition

       {

           return n1;

     }

      2  General condition

  else

       {

           cout << n1 % 10; // Printed the last digit

          return reverse(n1/10); // calling itsself

       }

  • Finally return the reverse number and display them into the main function.

Router 1 is configured with static NAT. Addressing on the router and the web server are correctly configured, but there is no co
marin [14]

Answer:

The router NAT configuration has an incorrect inside local address.

Explanation:

The term Inside in a <em>Network Address Translation (NAT) </em>context refers to networks owned by an organisation that must be translated. When NAT is configured, hosts within this network have addresses in one space (known as the local address space). These hosts appear to those users outside the network as being in another space (known as the global address space).

The term Outside refers to those networks to which the stub network connects, and which are not under the control of an organisation. Also, hosts in outside networks can be subject to translation, and can thus have local and global addresses

Here <UL> tag is used to create un ordered list and one another <UL> tag inside <LI> created nested list which is the actual requirement. Like this we can created nested unordered lists and you can nest upto 4 levels and increasing the number of levels further may reduce clarity.
