Question: Answer questions 9 , 1 0 and 1 1 based on the case and data given in the following: An industrial engineer applies work sampling

Answer questions 9,10 and 11 based on the case and data given in the following: An industrial engineer applies work sampling to an quality control operator. She makes 600 observations throughout a work week. In 480 observations the operator performs quality control of a product, and he was idle in remaining 120 observations. During sampling week, operator's total work duration is 40 hours, and he controlled totally 1600 parts. Mean Westinghouse rating is 1.25 for the operator, and 30% allowances are applied to this task. (Round up your result if necessary)
9.(5 points). Based on these data, what is the mean cycle time for controlling one product (Calculate in seconds)?
a.)48 seconds
b.)32 seconds
c.)15 seconds
d.)144 seconds
e)72 seconds

11.(5 points). Is number of observations statistically sufficient for this study? (Based on 95% confidence level).
a) No, we have 480 observations on quality control, but need 600 observations:
b) Yes, necessary number of observations is 246, we have 600 observations.
c) No, we need to take 246 obervations more.
d) Yes, necessary sample size is 480, we have 600 observations.
e) None of them
