Assigment On Work Measurement

The document describes a study that observed hotel housekeeping tasks to calculate work measurement times. It provides time data in minutes for four different housekeeping elements across five observations each. It then calculates the mean observation time, normal time, and standard time for each element using the provided data and formulas. It also includes two problems: 1) calculating work measurement times for another data set and 2) determining the number of observations needed to estimate an element's mean time within a certain amount of its true value with a given confidence level.

1. ) How to get the standard deviation


1ST Xbar = 0.83 + 0.87 +0.78 + 0.82 + 0.85/ 5 = 0.83
2ND
Xbar - Given Squared ans.

0.83 -0.83 = 0 0^2 = 0

0.83 - 0.87 = 0.04 0.04^2 =


0.0016
0.83 - 0.78 = 0.05 0.05^2 =
0.0025
0.83 - 0.82 = 0.01 0.01^2 0.0001 =

0.83 - 0.85 = 0.02 0.02^2 0.0004 =

Total 0.0046/4 = 0.00115

SQRT of 0.00115 = 0.034


STANDARD DEVIATION = 0.034 n
= (zs/aXbar)^2 Whereas:
Z = +/- 2
S = 0.034 A = 0.01
Xbar = 0.83

n = (2(0.034)/.01(0.83))^2 n = 67.12
or 68 2. ) n = (zs/e)^2

n = (2(0.034)/.01)^2
= 46.24 or 47
