15 cars. Hence, te repairing cost of the 5 cars has been added to the total repairing
cost.

outcome for the market. This is on the grounds that moving to the centralized facility
would mean a deferral between the harvest and entering the preparing cycle In any

with one sample bunch then onto the next. A large sample size can recognize where
this issue lies in a production cycle. In opposite, smaller sample size doesn't give a lot
of precision as far as discovering issues in the cycle.
