Question

Rose is a project manager at the civil engineering consulting firm of Sands, Gravel, Concrete, and Waters, Inc. She has been collecting data on the project in which concrete pillars were being constructed, however not all the data are available. She has been able to find out that the 5th pillar required 150 person-hours to construct, and that a 80% learning curve applied If the time required to construct 1st pillar is 240, The time required to construct the 10th pillar is closest to

Explain please.

Answer 1

Calculate the time required to construct the 10th pillar as follows: (log(0.80) (log 2.0) x 10 Time required 0k pilar = Time reuired, pilar -0.09691 = 240x 10 030103 = 240x (100.32199) %3D = 240x0.47651 114 Thus, the time required to construct the 10th pillar is closet to 114 person-hours
