A credit card company receives numerous phone calls throughout the day from customers reporting fraud and billing disputes. Most

of these callers are put "on hold" until a company operator is free to help them. The company has determined that the length of time a caller is on hold is normally distributed with a mean of 2.5 minutes and a standard deviation 0.5 minutes. If 1.5% of the callers are put on hold for longer than x minutes, what is the value of x? Use Excel, and round your answer to two decimal places.

Answer:

3.59 minutes

Explanation:

We solve this question using z score formula

Using Excel

Z-SCORE= (DataPoint-AVERAGE(DataSet))/STDEV(DataSet)

IN EXCEL,

AVERAGE, an excel function that calculates the Average of data set

STDEV.S: calculates the standard deviation while treating the data as a ‘sample’ of a population.

STDEV.P: This function calculates the standard deviation while treating the data as the entire population.

Z score formula = x - μ/σ

x = ?? μ = 2.5 minutes σ = 0.5 minutes

We are asked : If 1.5% of the callers are put on hold for longer than x minutes, what is the value of x?

Hence, Longer than = Greater than =

100 - 1.5%

= 100 - 0.015

= 0.985 ( 98.5%)

Using Excel we calculate = z score for 98.5 percentile

= 2.1701

Z score = x - μ/σ

2.1701 = x - 2.5/0.5

2.1701 × 0.5 = x - 2.5

1.08505 = x - 2.5

x = 1.08505 + 2.5

x = 3.58505

Approximately to 2 decimal places = 3.59 minutes

Therefore, 1.5% of the callers are put on hold for longer than 3.59 minutes.

Write a program that takes a single integer input from the user and stores it in a variable. Your program should increase the va
Allushta [10]

Answer:

Question is answered using python:

num = int(input("User Input: "))

for i in range(3):

    num = num+1

    print("Number is now "+str(num))

for i in range(3):

    num = num-1

    print("Number is now "+str(num))

Explanation:

This line prompts user for input

num = int(input("User Input: "))

The following iterates from 1 to 3

for i in range(3):

This increments user input each time

    num = num+1

This prints the value of num after increment

    print("Number is now "+str(num))

The following iterates from 1 to 3

for i in range(3):

This decrements the value of num

    num = num-1

This prints the value of num after decrement

    print("Number is now "+str(num))

Suppose the information content of a packet is the bit pattern 1110 0110 1001 1101 and an even parity scheme is being used. What
marta [7]

Answer:

\left[\begin{array}{ccccc}1&1&1&0&1\\0&1&1&0&0\\1&0&0&1&0\\1&1&0&1&1\\1&1&0&0&0\end{array}\right]

Explanation:

To keep the checksum length minimum ,checksum field should be a 4x4 matrix with two dimensional even parity bit.

For this purpose first create a matrix of RxC dimensions and add one even parity bit at the end of each row and column.

parity bit is sort of a check flag used to detect errors in binary data.Error detection is done by adding total number of  1's in the binary sequence.

There are two types of parity bits

  1. Even
  2. Odd

For even parity if total number of 1 is even parity bit for that sequence would be (0).

For even parity if total number of 1 is odd parity bit for that sequence would be (1)

For odd parity if total number of 1 is odd parity bit for that sequence would be (0)

For odd parity if total number of 1 is even parity bit for that sequence would be (1)

Exercise 3.6.9: 24 vs. "24"5 points
Anton [14]

This is all you need to do for this one add quotes around the number to make it a string. Then for the question I don't know if you need to answer it but I said that when there is only one string it creates and addition problem of 24 + 24 and then when there are two strings it puts them right next to each other making it look like the number 2424.

Jim is writing a program to calculate the wages of workers in a teddy bear factory.
34kurt

Answer:

The algorithm is as follows;

1. Start

2. Input TeddyBears

3. Input Hours

4. WagebyTeddy = 2 * TeddyBears

5. WagebyHour = 5 * Hours

6. If WagebyHour > WagebyTeddy then

6.1 Print WagebyHour

7. Else

7.1. Print WagebyTeddy

8. Stop

Explanation:

The following variables are used;

TeddyBears -> Number of teddy bears made

Hours -> Number of Hours worked

WagebyTeddy -> Wages for the number of teddy bears made

WagebyHour -> Wages for the number of hours worked

The algorithm starts by accepting input for the number of teddy bears and hours worked from the user on line 2 and line 3

The wages for the number of teddy bears made  is calculated on line 4

The wages for the number of hours worked  is calculated on line 5

Line 6 checks if wages for the number of hours is greated than wages for the number of bears made;

If yes, the calculated wages by hour is displayed

Otherwise

the calculated wages by teddy bears made is displayed
