Need some statistics/math help

Did you factor in F+J+B?

lol

[Tejas Wildlife]

Are your 6 new guys as experienced/knowledgeable/goal oriented as the original 24 guys? If you have to bring the 6 up a “ learning curve “ then your completions will NOT be a steady increase.

Did you factor in F+J+B?

Or L+G+B?

[Muskles]

Pretty sure the answer you're looking for is brown.

110%

...you would need a 27-28 employees to equal 100%

This

133*0.88 = 117.04 projects completed
117.04/24 = 4.876 projects/employee completed

Adding 6 employees brings your total to 30...
30*4.876 = 146.3 projects would have been completed, which is 110% of your 133 actual projects

All other factors being equal like productivity, etc.

squirrel!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry Im no help

[Burnadell]

Are you trying to compute how many additional employees are needed to increase your herd of conejos?

[Dale Moser]

Y'all are correct in your math...but just not going to work for my application right now. Too many other factors.

Make that **** up, and say it with 110% confidence when you make your pitch.

“Now just imagine how great you guys will look when you get credit for giving me these 6 extra guys and **whoever** is on TV talking about our department and our *slam your hand down on the conference table* 98.65% clearance rate!!!”

Walk out. Slam door.

This. 133 projects with an 88% completion means you completed 117 projects. Divide this by 24 employees working on it and you get an average of 4.9 projects completed by each employee. Divide 133 projects by 4.9 and you would need 27-28 employees to complete all 133 projects.

Your math is too straight line. 133 is a bit arbitrary, because it will change. Look at a 3, 6 or however many year average and factor in increases given your job. Then look at hours spent by those 24 folks. Did they work overtime, put in less than ideal amounts for each, etc? Get to an average hours needed rate per project, multiplied by your projected projects, divided by 1 employee paid hours and get the number of folks you need.

And people ask why why they should take Algebra, Statistics, etc in school.

Wouldn't really help in this case. Too many variations.

[mrc]

It will stay the same or decrease, the 24 employees will say, D@mn we finally got some help and will each slack off a little. The other 6 will barely cover for the loss.

Yea, why take it? Just ask the green screen for the answer 😝

[curtintex]

It depends on how capable your six new hires are. Some people show up to work and it's like two good hands stayed home.
