A customer service department asks its customers to rate their​ over-the-phone service on a scale of​ 1-20 immediately after their service has been completed. The department then matches each​ customer's rating with the number of minutes the person waited on hold. The accompanying table shows the ratings and number of minutes on hold for 10 randomly selected customers.  Minutes Rating 4 16 9 13 0 19 5 11 7 14 2 15 9 14 4 20 8 15 4 12

Follow-up Question

I already tried this answer and it was wrong. I will attach an image of the example that is given. I do not know how they used excel to do this.

 

c. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the average rating given by a customer that waits 1 minute.
The formula for the confidence interval is given below, where y is the predicted value of y for the given value of x, t,/2
is the critical t-statistic from the Student's t-distribution with n- 2 degrees of freedom, s, is the
standard error of the estimate, x is the average value of x from the sample, and n is the number of ordered pairs.
(x-x)²
1
+
(Ex)*
(Ex²) -
While technology or the formula can be used to find the confidence interval, in this problem, technology will be used. Before the confidence interval can be found, a few other calculations need to be done. The formula
for y is given below, where bo is the y-intercept, b, is the slope, and x is the given value of x.
y = bo + b,x
Substitute the values x = 1, bo = 16.5662, and b,
= - 0.3010 into the formula and simplify, rounding to three decimal places as needed.
= bo + b,x
= 16.5662 + (-0.3010) • 1
Substitute.
= 16.265
Use technology to find the lower limit, rounding to two decimal places.
LCL = 11.32
Use technology to find the upper limit, rounding to two decimal places.
UCL = 21.21
Therefore, the 95% confidence interval for the average rating given by a customer who waits 1 minute has a lower limit of 11.32 and an upper limit of 21.21.
