Question
Chapter E, Problem 13P
Summary Introduction
To determine: The time taken for the 3rd unit.
Introduction:
Learning curve:
Learning curve is based on the premise that when a person is repeating a task or job again and again, the performance of the person on that job or task will improve. It will depict relationship between cost and output over a definitive period of time.

Beth Zion Hospital has received initial certification from the state of California to become a center for liver transplants. The hospital, however, must complete its first 18 transplants under great scrutiny and at no cost to the patients. The very first transplant, just completed, required 28 hours. On the basis of research at the hospital, Beth Zion estimates that it will have an 75% learning curve. Using Table E.3, estimate the time it will take to complete:
Unit number 5
75%
Unit time: .513
Total time: 3.459
80%
Unit number 5
Unit time: .596
Total time: 3.738
85%
Unit number 5
Unit time: .686
Total time: 4.031
Unit number 18
75%
Unit time: .301
Total time: .8.245
Unit number 18
80%
Unit time: 3.94
Total Time: 9.716
Unit number 18
85%
Unit time: .508
Total time: 11.405
a) the 5th transplant = 14.36 hours
b) the first 5 transplant = ? hours (round your response to two decimal places)
In essay form,,, what do you think is the relevance of learning curve to work productivity? Thank youuuuu :(((
A contractor is preparing a bid to install swimming pools at a new housing addition. The estimated time to build the first pool is 38 hours. The contractor estimates an 80 percent learning rate.
