The length of long distance phone calls, measured in minutes, is known to have an exponential distribution with E(X)=2.

a) Find the probability that a phone call lasts less than 9 minutes

b) Find the probability that a phone call lass between 7 and 9 minutes

c) If 3 phone calls are made one after another, on average, what would you expect the total to be?

Historically, evening long-distance calls from a particular city have averaged 15.2 minutes per call.  In a random sample of 35 calls, the sample mean time was 14.3 minutes.  Assume the standard deviation is known to be 5 minutes.  Using a 0.05 level of significance, is there sufficient evidence to conclude that the average evening long-distance call has decreased? Use the six-steps (clearly labeled )
