The Cell Phone Case: Reducing Cellular Phone Costs

Rising cell phone costs have forced companies having large numbers of cellular users to hire services to manage their cellular and other wireless resources. These cellular management services use sophisticated software and mathematical models to choose cost-efficient cell phone plans for their clients. One such firm, mindWireless of Austin, Texas, specializes in automated wireless cost management. According to Kevin Whitehurst, co-founder of mindWireless, cell phone carriers count on verageusing more minutes than one's plan allowsand underageusing fewer minutes than those already paid forto deliver almost half of their revenues.3 As a result, a company's typical cost of cell phone use can be excessive18 cents per minute or more. However, Mr. Whitehurst explains that by using mindWireless automated cost management to select calling plans, this cost can be reduced to 12 cents per minute or less. In this case we consider a bank that wishes to decide whether to hire a cellular management service to choose its employees' calling plans. While the bank has over 10,000 employees on many different types of calling plans, a cellular management service suggests that by studying the calling patterns of cellular users on 500-minute-per-month plans, the bank can accurately assess whether its cell phone costs can be substantially reduced. The bank has 2,136 employees on a variety of 500-minute-per-month plans with different basic monthly rates, different overage charges, and different additional charges for long distance and roaming. It would be extremely time consuming to analyse in detail the cell phone bills of all 2,136 employees. Therefore, the bank will estimate its cellular costs for the 500-minute plans by analysing last month's cell phone bills for a random sample of 100 employees on these plans. When the random sample of 100 employees is chosen, the number of cellular minutes used by each sampled employee during last month (the employee's cellular usage) is found and recorded. The 100 cellular-usage figures are given in Table
