Chapter 3, Problem 65PS
One of the 111801 measures of the quality of service provided by an organization is the speed with which It responds to customer complaints A large family-held department store selling furniture and flooring, including carpet, had undergone a major expansion in the past several years. In particular, the flooring department had expanded from 2 installation crews to an installation supervisor. a measurer and 15 installation crews. The business objective of the company was to reduce the time between when a complaint is received and when it is resolved. During a recent year. the company received 60 complaints concerning carpet installation. The data from the 50 complaints. organized in Furniture, represent the number of days between the receipt of a complaint and the resolution of the complaint:
a. Compute the
b. Compute the
c. Construct a boxplot Are the data skewed? If so, how?
d. On the basis of the results of (a) through (c), if you had to tell the president of the company how long a customer should expect to wait to have a complaint resolved. what would you say? Explain.

Question 2: When John started his first job, his first end-of-year salary was $82,500. In the following years, he received salary raises as shown in the following table.
Fill the Table: Fill the following table showing his end-of-year salary for each year. I have already provided the end-of-year salaries for the first three years. Calculate the end-of-year salaries for the remaining years using Excel. (If you Excel answer for the top 3 cells is not the same as the one in the following table, your formula / approach is incorrect) (2 points)
Geometric Mean of Salary Raises: Calculate the geometric mean of the salary raises using the percentage figures provided in the second column named “% Raise”. (The geometric mean for this calculation should be nearly identical to the arithmetic mean. If your answer deviates significantly from the mean, it's likely incorrect. 2 points)
