9. Manufacturer Ċ went through serious process changes in order to eliminate unnecessary processes from the work flow. However they have to bare the slow down in the process for a while due to this transition. They want to estimate when they can reach to the expected performance level based on a 'learning curve' study. For a certain task they have measured a completion time of 137 minutes in the first time an average employee finished the renewed task. Please provide the values in the below table for three different learning rates and two different repetition units. 2nd 4th 13th 27th Learning Rate 70% 80% 60%

A new training program at Arid Industries is intended to lower the learning-curve coefficient of a certain molding operation that currently costs $95.50/hour. The current coefficient is .87, and the program hopes to lower the coefficient by 10%. Assume that the time to mold the first product is 8 hours. If the program is successful, what cost savings will be realized when the 2000th piece is produced?
Berringer Designs hired a graphic artist. It is estimated that the artist's learning rate is at 70% and her first quarter's output amounted to 300 relatively equal job outputs, which took her a total of 50 hours to complete. Output is expected to double in every succeeding quarter. By the 5th quarter, based on learning curve estimates, what should the artist's average time (in hours) be for the units of output? Multiple Choice 17.15 hours 3.5 hours 12.005 hours 6.9 hours None of the answers is correct
Girish Shambu and Delores Reisel are teammates at a discount store; their new job is assembling bicycles for customers. Assembly of a bike has a learning rate of 75%. They forgot to time their effort on the first bike, but spent 5 hours on the second. They have 6 more bikes to do. Determine approximately how much time will be (was) required for: a) The 1st unit= hours (round your response to two decimal places). b) The 8th unit-hours (round your response to two decimal places). c) The total amount of hours to build the 8 units-hours (round your response to two decimal places).
Describe how the summative assessment(such as a rubric) measures student achievement of the lesson learning objective. Standard \Apply the writing process to – 1. Generate a draft by developing, selecting, and organizing ideas relevant to the topic, purpose, and genre; revise to improve writing, using appropriate reference materials (e.g., quality of ideas, organization, sentence fluency, word choice); and edit writing for format and conventions (e.g., spelling, capitalization, usage, punctuation). 2. Use available technology to produce and publish legible documents. Learning Objective(s): By the end of the lesson, students can apply the writing process to generate a draft by developing, selecting, and organizing ideas relevant to a given topic, purpose, and genre. They can revise their drafts using appropriate reference materials to improve the quality of their ideas, organization, sentence fluency, and word choice. Students can also edit their writing for format and conventions,…
