Maybe the manager should just install a teleportation system and eliminate the commute altogether. Then they could all show up to work on time, every time!

Ah, the old 'reduce the variation' trick. If I had a nickel for every time I've seen that on an exam, I could probably afford a faster commute!

Hmm, 3.5 minutes? That's a pretty tight window. I hope the employees don't have to be on time down to the second or they'll be in trouble!

I'm not sure why they're asking about reducing variation when the metro system already has a shorter average commute time. Seems like a trick question to me.

The correct answer is C) 3.5 minutes. The goal is to reduce the variation to meet the 40-minute policy, and the standard deviation of 3.5 minutes would do that.

I'm not sure about that. Wouldn't eliminating the variation to 0.0 minutes be the best option to ensure everyone arrives on time?

I agree with Stephane. By reducing the variation to 6 minutes, employees can increase their chances of arriving on time.
