The caller times at a customer service center has an exponential distribution with an average of 22 seconds. Find the probabilit
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

The probability that a randomly selected call time will be less than 30 seconds is 0.7443.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the caller times at a customer service center has an exponential distribution with an average of 22 seconds.

Let X = caller times at a customer service center

The probability distribution (pdf) of the exponential distribution is given by;

f(x) = \lambda e^{-\lambda x} ; x > 0

Here, \lambda = exponential parameter

Now, the mean of the exponential distribution is given by;

Mean =  \frac{1}{\lambda}  

So,  22=\frac{1}{\lambda}  ⇒ \lambda=\frac{1}{22}

SO, X ~ Exp(\lambda=\frac{1}{22})  

To find the given probability we will use cumulative distribution function (cdf) of the exponential distribution, i.e;

    P(X\leq x) = 1 - e^{-\lambda x}  ; x > 0

Now, the probability that a randomly selected call time will be less than 30 seconds is given by = P(X < 30 seconds)

        P(X < 30)  =  1 - e^{-\frac{1}{22} \times 30}

                         =  1 - 0.2557

                         =  0.7443

<span>The number of dollars collected can be modelled by both a linear model and an exponential model. To calculate the number of dollars to be calculated on the 6th day based on a linear model, we recall that the formula for the equation of a line is given by (y - y1) / (x - x1) = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1), where (x1, y1) = (1, 2) and (x2, y2) = (3, 8) The equation of the line representing the model = (y - 2) / (x - 1) = (8 - 2) / (3 - 1) = 6 / 2 = 3 y - 2 = 3(x - 1) = 3x - 3 y = 3x - 3 + 2 = 3x - 1 Therefore, the amount of dollars to be collected on the 6th day based on the linear model is given by y = 3(6) - 1 = 18 - 1 = $17 To calculate the number of dollars to be calculated on the 6th day based on an exponential model, we recall that the formula for exponential growth is given by y = ar^(x-1), where y is the number of dollars collected and x represent each collection day and a is the amount collected on the first day = $2. 8 = 2r^(3 - 1) = 2r^2 r^2 = 8/2 = 4 r = sqrt(4) = 2 Therefore, the amount of dollars to be collected on the 6th day based on the exponential model is given by y = 2(2)^(5 - 1) = 2(2)^4 = 2(16) = $32</span>
