Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

If an 80 percent curve is applied, it means that the time for each subsequent unit should be 80 percent of the previous unit.

If the first unit takes 10 hours, the expected time for the second unit would be 8 hours (80 percent of 10 hours). Therefore, the average time for the first two units would be (10 + 8)/2 = 9 hours, not 8 hours.
