IGNITE, a student life group at a prominent college, is considering hiring Mclellan Consulting to conduct a survey geared towards evaluating the effects of mandatory remote learning on students during the wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. The survey will be carried out by telephone interview. Due to the uniqueness of programs offered by the different faculties at the college, Mclellan's survey design requires allocating different amounts of time per student interviewed in different faculties. The amount interview time required per student in each faculty is given in the following table: Faculty Interview time per student Technology 9 minutes Business 7 minutes Health 10 minutes Arts & Sciences 6 minutes Media 9 minutes Social Services 13 minutes Mclellan charges $3.00 per minute for interviews.
