A methods and measurements analyst needs to develop a time
standard for a certain task. In a preliminary study, he observed
one of his workers perform this task five times, with the following
results:
| Observation | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |
| Time (Seconds) | 84 | 76 | 80 | 84 | 76 |
What is the standard time for this task if the employee worked
at a 25 percent faster pace than average and an allowance of 20
percent of job time is used?
