question 82

Short Answer

SCENARIO 18-8
Recently, a university switched to a new type of computer-based registration. The registrar is
concerned with the amount of time students are spending on the computer registering under the new
system. She decides to randomly select 8 students on each of the 12 days of the registration and
determine the time each spends on the computer registering. The range, mean, and standard deviation
of the times required to register are in the table that follows. $$\begin{array} { r l r l } \underline { \text { Day } } & \text { Range } & \underline { \text { Mean } } & \underline { \text { Std.Dev. } } \\1 & 10 & 5.250 & 3.4949 \\2 & 31 & 15.250 & 10.3060 \\3 & 13 & 20.375 & 4.9262 \\4 & 21 & 22.875 & 8.3911 \\5 & 35 & 8.500 & 11.3767 \\6 & 18 & 7.875 & 6.9372 \\7 & 25 & 11.250 & 8.5815 \\8 & 30 & 7.875 & 9.5235 \\9 & 17 & 10.250 & 6.3640 \\10 & 22 & 9.500 & 7.8740 \\11 & 27 & 7.875 & 8.7086 \\12 & 26 & 12.875 & 9.3723\end{array}$$
-Referring to Scenario 18-8, an R chart is to be constructed for the time required to register. The
lower control limit for this data set is ________.

Understand the consequences of inadequate compensation on employee retention and firm reputation.

Grasp the objectives of effective compensation management, including cost control, behavior reinforcement, and legal compliance.

Understand the purpose and process of job evaluation in establishing pay levels.

Recognize the importance of wage and salary surveys in determining compensation.
