Consider the following excerpt from The Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World by Bob Sehlinger (Macmillan, 1998) below, and answer the following questions about the Jungle Cruise boat ride.

Jungle Cruise

What It Is: Outdoor safari-themed boat ride adventure

Scope & Scale: Major attraction

Author's Rating: A long-enduring Disney masterpiece;

Duration of Ride: 8-9 minutes

Average Wait in Line per 100 People Ahead of You: 4 minutes

Assumes: 10 boats operating

Description and Comments A cruise through jungle waterways. Passengers encounter elephants, lions, hostile natives, and a menacing hippo. Boatman's spiel adds to the fun.

a) Assuming that the above description refers to when the Jungle Cruise ride is operating at full capacity, calculate this capacity, in terms of number of people per hour.

b) Assume that in addition to the ride duration of 8 minutes, each of the ten boats also spends 1 minutes of time at the dock (in order to allow one boatload of passengers to disem-bark and the next boatload to board the boat). Calculate the average load of each boat (i.e., average number of people on one boat during one ride), assuming, again, a full capacity operating system.
