The mean response time and the standard deviation in a multi-user computer system are known to be 15 seconds and 3 seconds, respectively. Using the Chebyshev inequality, estimate the probability that the response time is more than 30 seconds. Select one: 0.36 0.60 0.04 0.01 0.30

Suppose the mean length of time that a caller is placed on hold when telephoning a customer service center is 23.8 seconds, with standard deviation 4.6 seconds. Find the probability that the mean length of time on hold in a sample of 1,200 calls will be within 0.5 second of the population mean.
