The manager of a crew that installs carpeting has tracked the crew’s output over the past several weeks, obtaining these figures:

   

Week	Crew Size	Yards Installed
1	4	98
2	3	71
3	4	99
4	2	54
5	3	60
6	2	54

    

a.	Compute the labor productivity for each of the weeks. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)

    

Week	Crew size	Labour productivity    (Yards)
1	4	24.50
2	3	23.67
3	4	24.75
4	2	27.00
5	3	20.00
6	2	27.00

   

b.	On the basis of your calculations, what can you conclude about crew size and productivity?

    

Possibly even   sized crews are better than odd   sizes and a crew of  2   seems to work best.
