Re: Math Problem

Her formula was showing how many calls per hour she was getting - 4.3 calls per hour, but she thought it was telling she was on the phone for 4.3 hours.

She has the Masters Degree!

I figured a little over half an hour per day?

What kind of analysis?

Re: Math Problem

Sad part is that management has trusted her analysis through the years!

Made some decision on her reports that affected a lot of people, departments, etc.

Man.

Re: Math Problem

This is what I get

1547 divided by 45 days of work = 34.3 calls a day

34.3 divided by 8 hrs = 4.2 calls and hour

4.2 divided by 60 minuets = 14.28 minuets per call

How much time an assistant spends handling phone calls per day. She's used the report to support hiring more admins in departments or actually reprimanding assistants that spend too much time on the phone and it's been inaccurate all these years.

You were good until step 3.

4.2 calls per hour is simply 4.2 minutes per hour on the phone.

That is correct.

However, she's saying that each call is only one minute, so she's trying to find out how much time those calls take per day (averaging only one minute per call)
