Solution

The correct group of answer choices would be "Route 2, Route 1, Route 2".

Here's why:

  1. Route 2 has the possibility of a very short amount of time to drive to work. This is because it has a larger standard deviation, which means the time it takes to drive this route can vary more widely, including potentially very short times.

  2. Route 1 results in the most consistent times. This is because it has a smaller standard deviation, which means the time it takes to drive this route varies less and is more consistent.

  3. Route 2 is more likely to take a very long time on occasion. Again, this is because it has a larger standard deviation, which means the time it takes to drive this route can vary more widely, including potentially very long times.

An analyst has timed a metal-cutting task for 50 cycles. The average time per cycle was 11.9 minutes, and the standard deviation was 1.32 minutes for a worker with a performance rating of 130 percent. Assume an allowance of 17 percent of task time. Calculate the standard time for this task. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round the final answer to 2 decimal places.)
