Table J.8
Auto Data produces custom engineering testing equipment. The following six jobs are currently in the design department. The time since each one arrived, the processing time, and the due date are shown below. All times are expressed in terms of days. Let now be the beginning of Day 1.

-Using the information in Table J.8 and the EDD rule, what is the average days past due?
A) fewer than or equal to 8.0 days
B) greater than 8.0 days but fewer than or equal to 9.5 days
C) greater than 9.5 but fewer than or equal to 11.0 days
D) greater than 11.0 days

Without the specific information from Table J.8, it's impossible to calculate the exact average days past due. However, the EDD (Earliest Due Date) rule is a scheduling method that prioritizes tasks based on their due dates, aiming to minimize the average tardiness. This question seems to be testing understanding of scheduling principles rather than specific calculations. Given only the choices, without detailed data, the correct answer cannot be precisely determined but is based on understanding the EDD rule's efficiency in reducing tardiness.
