Data Products, Inc., packages and distributes a variety ofpersonal computer-related products. A time study hasbeen conducted for a job packaging 3.5-inch personalcomputer diskettes for shipment to customers. The jobrequires a packager to place 20 diskettes in a rectangularplastic bag, close the bag with a twist tie, and place thefilled bag into a bin, which is replaced by another workerwhen it is filled. The job can be broken into four basic
elements. The elemental times (in minutes) were ob-tained from the time study for 10 job cycles shown in the
following table.
a. Using an allowance factor of 16%, determine the stan-dard time for this job.
b. Determine the number of cycles for this time studysuch that the company would be 95% confident that theaverage time from the time study is within 4% of thetrue average cycle time.

The first day of basic training at the Air Force Academy is quite a sight, with 1500 cadets being processed in. This involves getting haircuts, uniforms, room assignments, and a mountain of paperwork. At the Uniform Fitting station, the worker takes the measurements on the cadet (which takes about 2 minutes), then retrieves shirts, pants and hats in his/her size (which takes about 2 minutes), waits for the cadet to try on the pants (which takes about 1 minute) and then marks the pants for hemming (which takes about 1 minute). The in-processing takes place from 8 AM to 5 PM with an hour off for lunch (8 hours).
__________2a. How many cadets can a single worker fit for uniforms on that hectic day?
__________2b. How many workers would be needed to fit 1601 cadets in one day, if everyone works at full capacity?
