Alan's journey time to work can be modelled by a normal distribution with standard deviation 6 minutes.
Alan measures the journey time to work for a random sample of 5 journeys. The mean of the 5 journey times is 36 minutes.
- Construct a \(95 \%\) confidence interval for Alan's mean journey time to work, giving your values to one decimal place.
- Alan claims that his mean journey time to work is 30 minutes.
State, with a reason, whether or not the confidence interval found in part (a) supports Alan's claim.

\section*{2.}
Indre works on reception in an office and deals with all the telephone calls that arrive. Calls arrive randomly and, in a 4-hour morning shift, there are on average 80 calls. - Using a suitable model, find the probability of more than 4 calls arriving in a particular 20-minute period one morning.
Indre is allowed 20 minutes of break time during each 4-hour morning shift, which she can take in 5-minute periods. When she takes a break, a machine records details of any call in the office that Indre has missed.
One morning Indre took her break time in 4 periods of 5 minutes each.
- Find the probability that in exactly 3 of these periods there were no calls.
On another occasion Indre took 1 break of 5 minutes and 1 break of 15 minutes.
- Find the probability that Indre missed exactly 1 call in each of these 2 breaks.
