Question

One thousand adults live in Milltown. Every day, they all leave work at 4:30 p.m., arrive home at exactly 5:00 p.m., and go to bed at 9:00 p.m. Three fundraisers, Alpha, Beta, and Charlie, have targeted Milltown's population. To get a donation, they must call Milltown's residents after they get home from work but before they go to bed. Because the charities raising the funds are identical, the first to call a willing donor will get the donation. Calls made by the fundraisers will tend to be:_________.
A) evenly distributed throughout the evening.
B) clustered near 5:00 p.m.
C) clustered near 6:00 p.m.
D) clustered near 7:00 p.m.

Answer 1

Answer:

B) clustered near 5:00 p.m.

Explanation:

Based on the information given the Calls that will be made by the fundraisers which are Alpha, Beta, and Charlie will tend to be clustered near 5:00 p.m reason been that before the fundraisers can get a donation, they have to call Milltown's residents after they arrived home from work but before they go to bed which means that if the fundraisers arrive home at exactly 5:00 p.m and go to bed at 9:00 p.m the Calls that will be made by the fundraisers will tend to be clustered near 5:00 p.m which is the exact time they arrived home since we were told that they have to make the call after they get home from work but before they go to bed.
