e. A regional bank training center has the physical ability to handle 1,300 participants.
However, management personnel believe that only 1,100 participants can be handled
effectively for most training sessions. The last training session, although forecasted to
have 1,000 participants, resulted in the attendance of only 990 participants. Calculate
the utilization and efficiency of the training facility.
