question 17

Short Answer

A random sample of 15 telephone calls in an office showed the duration of each call and whether it was a local or a long distance call.
$\begin{array}{ccc}&\text { Duration }\\\text { Call Number } & \text { In Minution } &\text { Type of Call }\\1 & 2 & \text { local } \\2 & 12 & \text { long distance } \\3 & 10 & \text { local } \\4 & 3 & \text { local } \\5 & 5 & \text { long distance } \\6 & 6 & \text { local } \\7 & 3 & \text { local } \\8 & 5 & \text { local } \\9 & 8 & \text { local } \\10 & 4 & \text { local } \\11 & 5 & \text { local } \\12 & 4 & \text { local } \\13 & 5 & \text { local } \\14 & 4 & \text { local } \\15 & 9 & \text { long distance }\end{array}$
a. What is the point estimate for the average duration of all calls?
