SOLUTION: HOW COULD A PERSON COME UP WITH A 6 MINUTES AS THE LENGTH OF TIME OVER ALL WITH 33 QUESTIONS(THAT MUST BE READ ON THE SCREEN AND SAY IT OVER THE PHONE) AND HAS A PR OF 3.7 (WHICH I

Question 577535: HOW COULD A PERSON COME UP WITH A 6 MINUTES AS THE LENGTH OF TIME OVER ALL WITH 33 QUESTIONS(THAT MUST BE READ ON THE SCREEN AND SAY IT OVER THE PHONE) AND HAS A PR OF 3.7 (WHICH I HAVE NO IDEA) AND WHERE N=800 (ALSO NOT FAMILIAR)
ON MY OWN SOLUTION THAT I CAME UP WITH, WERE AS FOLLOWS: 6*60(SECONDS)=360sec, now 360sec./33 (questions) = 10.90sec (would that be possible? because then 10.90sec and a 2way conversation will also have to divide in 2, which left me with a 5.45sec. question is that is it really possible to come up with a 6 minutes of time with a 33 questions?
i am just curious due to the fact that i am trying to do my best which i have also done it but with 3 completed task i have the total of 28 minutes so my average was approximately 9.33minutes which also i did a ~17sec per question.
help me understand how they can come up with what i have explained above..
thank you
