Question: An activity has four elements. The activity is work - measured and the times ( r ) are recorded on continuous basis over five cycles.

An activity has four elements. The activity is work-measured and the times (r) are recorded on continuous basis over five cycles. The observations are given in table :
\table[[Work Element,Observations,Rating factor],[Cycle 1,2,3,4,5],[1,0.50,3.30,5.70,8.20,10.85,1.1],[2,0.70,3.45,5.95,8.55,11.10,1.2],[3,1.45,4.05,6.50,9.25,11.75,1.2],[4,2.75,5.25,7.60,10.35,13.05,0.9]]
The time r is recorded at the end of work-element.
(i) Calculate: (a) Normal time of the activity, (b) Standard time for the activity, if the allowance is 20%.
(ii) What is the appropriate sample size for estimating the time for element 2 within -10% of the true mean with 95% confidence; the standard deviation for the time for element 2 is 0.0742.
An activity has four elements. The activity is
