(a) find the standard divisor. round to three decimal places, if necessary.

the standard divisor is

Explanation:

Step1: Recall standard - divisor formula

The standard divisor $d$ is calculated by the formula $d=\frac{\text{Total number of items}}{\text{Total number of allocations}}$. Here, the total number of full - time faculty members is the total number of items and the number of promotions is the total number of allocations.

Step2: Identify values

The total number of full - time faculty members is $405$ and the number of promotions is $15$.

Step3: Calculate the standard divisor

$d=\frac{405}{15}=27$

Answer:

$27$
