10.49 6.68 5.64 4.08 6.17 9.91 5.47

(a) Compute the mean, standard deviation and range.
(b) The bank would like to use an AI machine to shorten the waiting time to enhance the service provided. The vendor claims that their AI machine would shorten waiting times by $15 \%$ on average after on-site testing in a bank. Is it possible to have the average waiting time not to exceed 5 minutes? Please state your reason(s).
(c) Classify the sampling method in the following cases.
(i) The $8^{\text {th }}$ customer entering the bank and every $20^{\text {th }}$ customer thereafter was asked to indicate the number of credit cards in his/her wallet.
