Assume each call takes 5 minutes (optimistic) = each person takes 1374 minutes a day or 22.9 hours



So that's 23 hours a day each person calling. ) One hour a day for eating or sleeping. Hard to believe

Also, assume you call 8am EST to 8pm Pacific. That's only 15 hours to call.

This assumes you get a person each time. I've done phone banking. The first time it took me 45 minutes before I reached someone.



Additionally,

1) The methodology is flawed. You are supposed to weight by demographics.

2) There sure are a lot of spelling and grammatical errors for "Graduate" students (Not normally capitalized, BTW).



No, it is fake.
