A. Round the value up
As a rule of thumb, always round up to the value when the answer falls between
values. (page 3-5, para 6a)
Here is the answer to paragraph 7 on page 3-5:
Step 1.
Determine the busy hour call-minutes.
22 (# of subs) x 8 (ACR) x 6 (AHT) = 1056 CM
Step 2.
Determine the total amount of traffic offered.
1056 CM x (.35 + .45) = 844.8 CM
Step 3.
Determine the distribution of offered traffic.
844.8 CM x .60 (Ke) = 506.88 CCS
Step 4.
Determine the desired overflow.
506.88 CCS x .10 = 50.688 CCS
Step 5.
Determine the number of trunks needed.
506.88 CCS need to be rounded up to 510 CCS
50.688 CCS need to be rounded up to 61 CCS as the desired overflow
The correct answer is 16 trunks needed. (Refer to Table 3-1.)
