    120 seconds (2 minutes)

    Explanation:

    Standard time = normal time + allowances

    The normal time is computed using the following formula

    normal time = observed time X ratings/100

    observed time mean = (84+76+80+84+76) / 5 = 80

    A person who is 25% faster has a rating of 125%

    normal time = 80 X 125/100 = 100 seconds

    Allowances is calculated as a percentage of normal time

    Allowance = 80 X 20/100 = 20 seconds

    Standard time = 100 + 20 = 120 seconds
