A time-and-motion study measures the time required for an assembly-line worker to perform a repetitive task. The data show that the time required to bring a part from a bin to its position on an automobile chassis varies from car to car according to a Normal distribution with mean seconds and standard deviation seconds. The time required to attach the part to the chassis follows a Normal distribution with mean seconds and standard deviation seconds. The study finds that the times required for the two steps are independent. A part that takes a long time to position, for example, does not take more or less time to attach than other parts.
(a) Find the mean and standard deviation of the time required for the entire operation of positioning and attaching the part.
(b) Management’s goal is for the entire process to take less than seconds. Find the probability that this goal will be met. Show your work

Respuesta :

The mean time of the entire operation is given by 31 seconds and standard deviation is approximately 4.47 seconds

mean time (μ₁) = 11 seconds

mean chassis time (μ₂) = 20 seconds

a)Total time taken = μ₁ + μ₂ = 11 +20 = 31  seconds

Now we will find the standard deviation:

standard deviation = √ (2²+4²) = √ 20 ≈ 4.47 seconds

b) The probability that the entire process will take less time:

Total time taken = 31 seconds

Less time taken will be 2 seconds for the entire time

P(T<30) = 30 - 31 / 4.47  = - 0.22

Now from the normal distribution table we get the p-value as :

p-value = 0.4129

Hence the required probability is 41.29 % .

The population or sample standard deviation and the standard error of a statistic are not the same thing, but they are related. The standard error of the sample mean is the standard deviation of the set of means computed by drawing an infinite number of repeated samples from the population and computing a mean for each sample.

The mean's standard error is estimated by dividing the sample standard deviation by the square root of the sample size, which matches the population standard deviation divided by the square root of the sample size.
