Suppose the daily customer volume at a call center has a normal distribution with mean 4,200 and standard deviation 850.
What is the probability that the call center will get between 3,600 and 3,800 calls in a day?
Please specify your answer in decimal terms and round your answer to the nearest hundredth (e.g., enter 12 percent as 0.12).

Solution :
Given that ,
mean = 
= 4200
standard deviation = 
= 850
P( 3600< x < 3800 ) = P[(3600-4200)/ 850) < (x -
) / <
(3800-4200) / 850) ]
= P(-0.71 < z < -0.47)
= P(z <-0.47 ) - P(z <-0.71 )
Using standard normal table
= 0.3192 - 0.2389 = 0.0803
Probability = 0.08

A customer service center has customers call with questions
about the use of a product. The mean arrival rate of customer calls
is 20 per hour and follows a Poisson distribution. The mean service
rate (how long it takes the call center employee to answer the
customer’s question) is 30 customers per hour (most customer
questions can be answered rather quickly) and follows an
Exponential distribution.

With a mean of 16, a Poisson distribution can be approximated by
a normal distribution with the same mean. It is known that, under a
normal distribution, in between the two lines [mean - 1 standard
deviation] and [mean + 1 standard deviation] approximately 68% of
the area under the normal curve is covered. If Bigfield is facing
its peak demand period with an average of 16 jobs per day and its
