Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The effectiveness can be measured by the number of units produced, which is the same for both Rebecca and Randy (50 units). However, the efficiency can be measured by the amount of time it took to produce those units. Rebecca produced 50 units in 20 hours, which means she was producing at a rate of 2.5 units per hour. Randy produced 50 units in 15 hours, which means he was producing at a rate of 3.3 units per hour. Therefore, Randy was more efficient than Rebecca. However, we can't determine if Rebecca was effective in managing other workers, so option E is not a valid answer.
