minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink17•19 days agoWell, aaaactually, don’t they have more than average calls half of the time?
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink23•19 days agoNot necessarily. They could be constantly ever so lightly above the average value, but then once in a while, a really low value comes along and drags the average down. What you’re thinking of is the median.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink11•18 days agoEasily achievable if you only take calls in working hours. Then all working hours will have more than average calls per hour for a day.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink4•18 days agoYou can also continously have above average per worked hour for the staff if you keep firing people, because then calls per person keeps going up
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink9•18 days agoMaybe they’re taking the average for each day over the whole 24 hours, but the call centre only operates from 9:30-4:30.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink10•18 days agoThat would be true for the median, but not for the average

Yeah, like at night it falls down to 0
That would be true for the median, but not for the average
