Two workers on the same job show the following results:

  Worker P Worker Q
Mean time for completing the job (hours) 33 21
Standard Deviation (hours) 9 7

Which worker seems to be faster in completing the job?

योग

उत्तर

  Worker P Worker Q
Mean time for completing the job (hours) `bar"p"` = 33 `bar"q"` = 21
Standard Deviation (hours) σp = 9 σq = 7

C.V. (P) = `(sigma_"p")/bar"p"xx 100`

= `(9)/(33) xx 100`

= 27.27%

C.V. (Q) = `(sigma_"q")/(bar"q") xx 100`

= `7/21xx100`

= 33.33%

Since, `bar"p"` > `bar"q"`
i.e., expected time for completing the job is less for worker Q.
∴ Worker Q seems to be faster in completing the job.
