hold time exceeded 110 s = P(x>110) = ? Answer: Mean of a distribution (μ) and a data point (x) is related by the following equation: x = μ ± zσ For x > 110 s; [pic] Now, [pic] Value of [pic] is area under normal curve between z = 0 to z = 0.43. Thus it can be seen that fraction of days when call center failed to meet the targeted hold time is approximately 1/3 or 0.336. This finding is supported from the frequency distribution table as well where this fraction is 240/731 ~1/3. Q2. Given
