An airline with operations in San Diego, California, must staff its ticket counters inside the airport. Ticket attendants work 6-hour shifts at the counter. There are two types of agents: those who speak English as a first language and those who are fully bilingual (English and Spanish). The requirements for the number of agents depend on the numbers of people expected to pass through the airline’s ticket counters during various hours. The airline believes that the need for agents between the hours of 6 a. m. and 9 p. m. are as follows: 6A. M-9 A. M. 9 A. M-NOON NOON-3 P. M. 3 P. M-6P. M.
Agents 12 20 24 12
