Calculate the average fall time and standard deviation using the data above.
Average - 1.5s
Stdev- 1.85s
Use the average fall time and one of the kinematic equations to determine the height of the building.
Add the standard deviation from step 1 to the average fall time from step 2. This represents a “maximum fall time.” Use this time to calculate the “maximum” height of the building.
The Answer is one of the options below please solve and circle the correct option .
A work measurement analyst at the Dorben Company took 10 observations of a high-production job. He rated the performance of each cycle and then calculated the average normal time for each item. The item with the largest dispersion had a mean of 0.30 minutes and a standard deviation of 0.03 minutes. If it is desired to have sample data within ±5% of the actual data, how many observations should the time study analyst take of this operation?
