Answer:
Element 1 = 4.17 Observed time
Element 2 = 1.77 Observed time
Element 3 = 3.33 Observed time
Element 4 = 2.8 Observed time
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the observed time (OT) for each element
Based on the information given we have 4 Element and 6 Cycle for Element 1,3 and 4 while Element 2 has 3 cycle
First step is sum up each element cycle i.e addition of cycle 1 to cycle 6
Element Cycle 1 Cycle 2 Cycle 3 Cycle 4 Cycle 5 Cycle 6
1. 4.1 +4.0 +4.6 + 4.1 +4.1 + 4.1 = 25
2. - 1.5 - 2.4 - 1.4 =(1.5+2.4+1.4)=5.3
3. 3.2 +3.2 +3.8 +3.2+ 3.3 +3.3= 20
4. 2.7 +3.0 +2.7 +2.8 +2.8+ 2.8 = 16.8
Now let find the Observed time by dividing the figure that was sum up for each of the element by the numbers of cycle that each element has.
OBSERVED TIME
Element Cycle 1 Cycle 2 Cycle 3 Cycle 4 Cycle 5 Cycle 6
1. 4.1 +4.0 +4.6 + 4.1 +4.1 + 4.1 = 25/6= 4.17 Observed time
2. - 1.5 - 2.4 - 1.4 =(1.5+2.4+1.4)=5.3/3=1.77 Observed time
3. 3.2 +3.2 +3.8 +3.2+ 3.3 +3.3= 20/6= 3.33 Observed time
4. 2.7 +3.0 +2.7 +2.8 +2.8+ 2.8 = 16.8/6=2.8 Observed time
