Summary Introduction
To determine: The number of sample size.
Introduction: Thesample size is required to determine the number of observations that are necessary to find the true cycle time.

By agreement with her workers, Stanley allows a 10% fatigue factor and a 10% personal-time factor. To compute standard time for the work operation, Stanley excludes all observations that appear to be unusual or nonrecurring. She does not want an error of more than 5%.
What is the standard time for the task?
