65. What type of computational method would you use to develop a standard with a population consisting of two to six locations?

Explanation

The correct answer is Ratio unit time equation. This method would be used to develop a standard with a population consisting of two to six locations. The ratio unit time equation involves comparing the ratio of a certain variable to the time it takes to complete a task. This method helps to determine the relationship between the variable and the time taken, and can be used to estimate the standard for a given population.

66. You are conduction a study that employs a measurement method that involves the use of correlation and regression analysis to determine manpower skills and grades. During which study phase are the skills distribution percentages determined for each step in the process oriented description?

Explanation

In the study planning phase, the researcher determines the objectives, research questions, and hypotheses of the study. This includes deciding on the measurement method to be used, which in this case involves correlation and regression analysis. During this phase, the researcher also plans the data collection process and determines the steps involved in the process-oriented description. Therefore, it is in the study planning phase that the skills distribution percentages are determined for each step in the process-oriented description.

67. During the operational audit, which method would you use to synthesized task man-hour values to determine the per accomplishment time?

Explanation

During an operational audit, the method of using standard data would be employed to synthesize task man-hour values and determine the per accomplishment time. Standard data refers to pre-determined time values for specific tasks, which have been established through past experience or industry benchmarks. By using standard data, an organization can estimate the time required to complete a task based on historical data or industry standards, allowing for more accurate planning and resource allocation.
