Question

The amount of time that a customer waits on hold at a call center can be modeled by a uniform distribution on the interval from 0 seconds to 120 seconds.
A) Draw a density curve to model the amount of time that a randomly selected customer waits on hold. Be sure to include scales on both axes.
B) About what percent of the time does a customer have to wait between 100 and 120 seconds?

Answer 1

Using the uniform distribution, we have that:

a) The density curve is given at the end of this question.

b) 16.67% of the time does a customer have to wait between 100 and 120 seconds.

-----------------

The uniform distribution has two bounds, a and b, and the probability of finding a value between c and d is given by:

$P(c \leq X \leq d) = \frac{d - c}{b - a}$

• Uniform distribution on the interval of 0 to 120 seconds, thus $a = 0, b = 120$.

The proportion between 100 and 120 seconds is:

$P(100 \leq X \leq 120) = \frac{120 - 100}{120 - 0} = \frac{1}{6} = 0.1667$

0.1667*100% = 16.67%

16.67% of the time does a customer have to wait between 100 and 120 seconds.
