Calls to a customer service center last on average 2.8 minutes with a standard deviation of 1.4 minutes. An operator in the call

center is required to answer 75 calls each day. Assume the call times are independent. What is the expected total amount of time in minutes the operator will spend on the calls each day

Answer:

The expected total amount of time the operator will spend on the calls each day is of 210 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the z-score of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

n-values of normal variable:

Suppose we have n values from a normally distributed variable. The mean of the sum of all the instances is M = n\mu and the standard deviation is s = \sigma\sqrt{n}

Calls to a customer service center last on average 2.8 minutes.

This means that \mu = 2.8

75 calls each day.

This means that n = 75

What is the expected total amount of time in minutes the operator will spend on the calls each day

This is M, so:

M = n\mu = 75*2.8 = 210

The expected total amount of time the operator will spend on the calls each day is of 210 minutes.

Identify thenull hypothesis, alternative hypothesis, test statistic, P-value or critical value(s), then state the conclusion abo
miv72 [106K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a test of 2 population proportions. Let m and w be the subscript for men and women players. The population proportions would be pm and pw

Pm - Pw = difference in the proportion of male and female players.

The null hypothesis is

H0 : pm = pw

pm - pw = 0

The alternative hypothesis is

Ha : pm ≠ pw

pm - pw ≠ 0

it is a two-tailed test

Sample proportion = x/n

Where

x represents number of success

n represents number of samples

For men,

xm = 1027

nm = 2441

Pm = 1027/2441 = 0.42

For women,

xw = 509

nw = 1273

Pw = 509/1273 = 0.4

The pooled proportion, pc is

pc = (xm + xw)/(nm + nw)

pc = (1027 + 509)/(2441 + 1273) = 0.41

1 - pc = 1 - 0.41 = 0.59

z = (Pm - Pw)/√pc(1 - pc)(1/nm + 1/nw)

z = (0.42 - 0.4)/√(0.41)(0.59)(1/2441 + 1/1273) = 0.02/√0.0002891223

z = 1.18

Since it is a 2 tailed test, we would find the p value by doubling the area to the right of the z score to include the area to left.

Area to the right from the normal distribution table is

1 - 0.881 = 0.119

P value = 0.119 × 2 = 0.238

Since 0.05 < 0.238, we would accept the null hypothesis

Therefore, there is no sufficient evidence to conclude that that men and women have unequal success in challenging calls.
