The telephone company has 25 computer controlled switching systems. Each system handles 700,000 calls an hour. The system works at 96% accuracy. How many calls would not accurately
25 * 700,000 * 0.04 = ? an hour
much fear
so math
To determine how many calls would not be accurately handled by the telephone company's computer-controlled switching systems, we need to calculate the number of calls per hour that would not be accurate.
Step 1: Calculate the total number of calls per hour for all switching systems.
Total calls per hour = Number of switching systems * Calls per hour per system
Total calls per hour = 25 * 700,000
Total calls per hour = 17,500,000
Step 2: Calculate the number of accurately handled calls per hour.
Accurately handled calls per hour = Total calls per hour * Accuracy rate
Accurately handled calls per hour = 17,500,000 * 0.96
Accurately handled calls per hour = 16,800,000
Step 3: Calculate the number of calls that would not be accurately handled.
Calls not accurately handled per hour = Total calls per hour - Accurately handled calls per hour
Calls not accurately handled per hour = 17,500,000 - 16,800,000
Calls not accurately handled per hour = 700,000
Therefore, 700,000 calls would not be accurately handled by the telephone company's computer-controlled switching systems.
To calculate the number of calls that would not be accurately handled by the switching systems, we need to multiply the number of systems by the number of calls per hour and subtract the number of accurately handled calls.
Step 1: Calculate the total number of calls per hour handled by all systems.
Number of systems = 25
Calls handled by each system per hour = 700,000
Total calls handled per hour = Number of systems x Calls handled by each system per hour
Total calls handled per hour = 25 x 700,000
Step 2: Calculate the number of accurately handled calls per hour.
Accuracy rate = 96% = 0.96 (decimal)
Number of accurately handled calls per hour = Total calls handled per hour x Accuracy rate
Number of accurately handled calls per hour = (25 x 700,000) x 0.96
Step 3: Calculate the number of calls that would not be accurately handled.
Number of calls not accurately handled per hour = Total calls handled per hour - Number of accurately handled calls per hour
Number of calls not accurately handled per hour = (25 x 700,000) - ((25 x 700,000) x 0.96)
Now you can simply do the calculations:
Total calls handled per hour = 25 x 700,000 = 17,500,000
Number of accurately handled calls per hour = (25 x 700,000) x 0.96
Number of calls not accurately handled per hour = (25 x 700,000) - ((25 x 700,000) x 0.96)
Please substitute the values into the formulas mentioned above to find the final answer.
