Based on past experience, a telemarketing firm has found that calls to prospective customers take an average of 2.0 minutes, wit

h a standard deviation of 1.5 minutes. The distribution is positively skewed since persons who actually become customers require more of the caller’s time than those who are not home, who simply hang up, or who say they’re not interested. Albert has been given a quota of 220 calls for tomorrow, and he works an 8-hour day. Assuming that this list represents a simple random sample of those persons who could be called, what is the probability that Albert will meet or exceed his quota?

Answer: Our required probability would be 0.9641.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of hours he works a day = 8

So, Number of minutes he worked in a day = 8\times 60=480\ minutes

Number of calls = 220

So, Average =\bar{x}=\dfrac{480}{220}=2.18\ minutes

Standard deviation =s=\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}=\dfrac{1.5}{\sqrt{220}}=0.10

Mean = μ = 2.0 minutes

Standard deviation = σ = 1.5 minutes

Using the normal distribution, we get that

z=\dfrac{\bar{x}-\mu}{s}\\\\z=\dfrac{2.18-2.0}{0.10}\\\\z=1.8

So, the probability that Albert will meet or exceed his quota would be

P(X\leq 2.18)=P(z\leq 1.8)=0.9641

Hence, our required probability would be 0.9641.

Let the amount deposited (principal) be x, then the amount after the required time = 2x.
A = P(1 + r/n)^nt: where A is the future value = 2x, P is the principal = x, r is the rate = 0.75%, n is the number of accumulation in a year = 12, t is the number of years.

2x = x(1 + 0.0075/12)^12t
2 = (1 + 0.000625)^12t
log 2 = 12t log (1.000625)
log 2 / log (1.000625) = 12t
1109.38 = 12t
t = 92 years

JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

NO

Step-by-step explanation:

The changeability of a sampling distribution is measured by its variance or its standard deviation. The changeability of a sampling distribution depends on three factors:

  1. N: The number of observations in the population.
  2. n: The number of observations in the sample.
  3. The way that the random sample is chosen.

We know the following about the sampling distribution of the mean. The mean of the sampling distribution (μ_x) is equal to the mean of the population (μ). And the standard error of the sampling distribution (σ_x) is determined by the standard deviation of the population (σ), the population size (N), and the sample size (n). That is

μ_x=p

σ_x== [ σ / sqrt(n) ] * sqrt[ (N - n ) / (N - 1) ]

In the standard error formula, the factor sqrt[ (N - n ) / (N - 1) ] is called the finite population correction. When the population size is very large relative to the sample size, the finite population correction is approximately equal to one; and the standard error formula can be approximated by:

σ_x = σ / sqrt(n).
