Your endpoint is 7pm. Thus, you want to find the length of the conversation such that the probability of completion = 0.95 and subtract it from 7:00pm (giving you your conversation's start point). To find the length of conversation within a 95% confidence interval, simply let f(x) = 0.95



I'm sure you can simplify that.

Then, subtract minutes from 7:00pm.


EDIT: I think I'm wrong...hang on...(my brain's not working today)

EDIT 2: There we go. I think that may be right, but I can't check without a calculator. Seems logical enough. Heh.
