Problem 1. A time study was conducted on a job that contains four elements. The observed times and
performance ratings for six cycles are shown in the following table. Assuming allowance factor of 15% of job
time. Compute the standard time for this job.

Problem 2. How many work cycles could be timed to estimate the average cycle time to within 2% of the sample mean
with a confidence of 99% if a pilot study yielded these times (in minutes): 5.2, 5.5, 5.8, 5.3, 5.5, and 5.1?
