a. According to the pilot run, what would you estimate the learning rate to be?
Learning rate can be determined by calculating learning rate at each doubling of output.
Time taken to produce first unit = 970 hours
Time taken to produce second unit = 640 hours
Learning rate between first and second unit= 640/970= 65.98%
Time taken to produce fourth unit = 380 ...
