A work measurement analyst at the Dorben Company took 10 observations of a high-production job. He rated the performance of each cycle and then calculated the average normal time for each item. The item with the largest dispersion had a mean of 0.30 minutes and a standard deviation of 0.03 minutes. If it is desired to have sample data within ±5% of the actual data, how many observations should the time study analyst take of this operation?
