A university engineering department has introduced a new software package called SOLVIT. To save money, the university’s purchasing department has negotiated a bargain price for a 4 user license that allows only 4 students to use SOLVIT at any one time. It is estimated that thsi should allow 90% of students to use the package when they need it. The student's union has asked for more licenses to be bought since engineering students report having to queue excessively to use SOLVIT. As a result the computer Centre monitors the use of the software. Their findings show that on average 20 students are logged on at peak times and 4 of these want to use SOLVIT. Was the purchasing department estimate correct? Answer this by yes or no and show your proof why you choose yes or no.
