WSD & Ergonomics Lab Quiz, 5th Sem PIE, MM;20 , Time: 20 min.1. The owner of Touchdown Sports Bar wants to develop a time standard for the task of mixing a specialty cocktail. In a preliminary study, he observed one of his bartenders perform this task seven times with an average of 90 seconds and a standard deviation of 5 seconds.What is the standard time (ST) for this task if the bartender worked at a twenty percent faster pace than is average, and an allowance of twenty percent of the workday is used?
