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.

       #Set the values of

       #the data members of the class.

       $\text{self.nam}e$ = name

       $\text{self.ID}$_number = ID_number

       $\text{self.salary}$ = salary

       self.email_address = email

#Define the function

#make_employee_dict().

def make_employee_dict(list_names, list_ID, list_salary, list_email):

   #Define the dictionary

   #to store the results.

   employee_dict = {}

   #Store the length

   #of the list.

   list_len = len(list_ID)

   #Run the loop to

   #traverse the list.

   for i in range(list_len):

       #Access the lists to

       #get the required details.

       name = list_names[i]

       id_num = list_ID[i]

       salary = list_salary[i]

       email = list_email[i]

       #Define the employee

       #object and store

       #it in the dictionary.

       employee_dict[id_num] = Employee(name, id_num, salary, email)

   #Return the

   #resultant dictionary.

   return employee_dict

Write a program whose input is two integers and whose output is the two integers swapped. Place the values in an array, where x
Aliun [14]

Answer:

import java.util.Arrays;

public class swap{

   public static void main(String []args){

       int [] arr = {2,4};

       swapValues(arr);

   }

   public static void swapValues(int[] values){

       int temp;

       System.out.println(Arrays.toString(values));

       temp=values[0];

       values[0]=values[1];

       values[1] =temp;

       System.out.println(Arrays.toString(values));

   }

}

Explanation:

In the program above, we created the method swapValues that receives an array of integers as parameters. in the method definition, we created a temp variable that is used to swapp the element at index 0 and index 1. Java's Arrays.to string method is used to print the array before and after the swap.
