%) E19-25 (similar to) Question Help The registration advisors at a small Mideastern university (SMU) help 3,000 students develop their class schedules and register for classes each semester. Each advisor works for 10 hours a day during the registration period. SMU currently has 9 advisors. While advising an individual student can take anywhere from 2 to 30 minutes, it takes an average of 14 minutes per student. During the registration period, the 9 advisors see an average of 225 students a day on a first-come, first-served basis. Read the requirements. Requirement 1. Calculate how long the average student will have to wait in the advisor's office before being advised. Begin by selecting the formula to calculate the wait time. (Abbreviations used: Ave = average; Hrs = hours, and Max = maximum.) (Ave students per day) * (Time per student) 2 2 x [Max time available (Ave students per day x Time per student)] = Wait time Enter the amounts into the formula now. (Enter the amounts in the same order as shown in the formula. Round the wait time to two decimal places.) * ( = minutes of wait time 2 x ( )) i Requirements 1. Calculate how long the average student will have to wait in the advisor's office before being advised. 2. The head of the registration advisors would like to increase the number of students seen each day because at 225 students a day it would take 14 working days to see all of the students. This is a problem because the registration period lasts for only 2 weeks (10 working days). If the advisors could advise 300 students a day, it would take only 2 weeks (10 days). However, the head advisor wants to make sure that the waiting time is not excessive. What would be the average waiting time if 300 students were seen each day? 3. SMU wants to know the effect of reducing the average advising time on the average wait time. If SMU can reduce the average advising time to 13 minutes, what would be the average waiting time if 300 students were seen each day? %) E19-25 (similar to) Question Help The registration advisors at a small Mideastern university (SMU) help 3,000 students develop their class schedules and register for classes each semester.
