a)
To determine: The percentage spent in working, through observation
Introduction:
b)
To determine: The required sample size
Introduction: Sample size is required to determine the number of observations that are necessary to find the true cycle time.
c)
To determine: Whether the sample size taken by the assistant is adequate or not
Introduction: Sample size refers to the number of observations that are necessary to determine the cycle time. The major goal of sample size is to determine inferences about the population from the observations.
