Arbino Mortgage Company obtains business from direct marketing letters signed by a fictitious loan officer named Jackson

Question:

Arbino Mortgage Company obtains business from direct marketing letters signed by a fictitious loan officer named Jackson Smith. The percentages of interested responses from Jackson Smith letters are triangular with parameters 1%, 1.2%, and 2%.

Each loan officer will close an average of one loan per month from referrals and repeat customers, and about one loan every four months from unsolicited customers (use judgment to define a reasonable uniform distribution around these averages).
