Yоu wоrk аs а custоmer support аgent for a popular online streaming platform. Your job is to help customers who are unable to log into their streaming account after multiple failed login attempts. You can try up to three different troubleshooting steps to help them. After each (possibly failed) attempt, you also have the option of escalating the case to the Tier 2 Support Team. At the start of every support chat, you first verify the customer's identity and guide them to reset their password using the "Forgot Password" link. This takes 6 minutes and works 30% of the time. If this attempt fails, you must decide what to do next. You can either escalate the issue or generate and email the customer a manual temporary login link. Sending the temporary link takes 4 minutes and works 50% of the time. If this still does not work, you can escalate the issue or remotely assist the customer through a screen-sharing session, where you check for saved password conflicts, clear the browser cache, or test device compatibility. This advanced troubleshooting takes 20 minutes and succeeds 100% of the time. The platform's compensation model is performance-based. Instead of being paid hourly, you are paid/charged solely based on outcomes, that is, Each time you successfully help a customer log back into their account, you earn $5.00. Each time you escalate the issue to Tier 2 Support, you are charged $1.00. To simplify, let us assume you are comparing three policies where you follow the same decision-making rule every time (so we only need to analyze one case since you apply the policy consistently): Policy 1: Only try step 1; if it fails, escalate the case. Policy 2: Try up to steps 1 and 2; if step 2 fails, escalate the case. Policy 3: Try all three steps; since step 3 always succeeds, escalation is not needed under this policy. Answer the following questions: Which policy maximizes your expected profit per customer? What is the expected profit per customer (in dollars) under this policy? (5 points) Which policy minimizes your expected time spent handling each customer? What is the expected time (in minutes) spent handling each customer under this policy? (5 points) Which policy maximizes your expected profit per minute? What is the profit per minute you earn under this policy? (5 points)
