Each advisor works for 10 hours a day during the registration period. SMC currently has 12 advisors.

During the registration period, the 12 advisors see an average of 400 students a day on a first-come, first- served basis. Read the requirements. Requirement 1. Using the formula given, calculate how long the average student will have to wait in the advisor's office before being advised. Enter the amounts into the formula now. (Enter the amounts in the same order as shown in the formula.) 2x ]xD) = wait time 1 Requirements Requirements 1. Using the formula given, 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 400 students a day it would take 12 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 480 students a day, it would take only 2 weeks (10 days). However, the head advisor wants to make sure that the waiting time not excessive. What would be the average waiting time if 480 students were seen each day? 3. SMC wants to know the effect of reducing the average advising time on the average wait time. If SMC can reduce the average advising time to 12 minutes, what would be the average waiting time if 480 students were seen each day?
