The learning curve percent and the reduction in the time it takes to produce the 1,000^th unit (in general n^th unit) as compared to the time to make the first unit is A) related in a direct fashion, meaning the higher the learning curve percentthe greater will be the reduction in time to produce the 1,000^thunit. B) related in an inverse fashion, meaning the higher the learning curve percentthe lower will be the reduction in time to produce the 1,000^th unit. C) related in a linear direct fashion, meaning the higher the learning curve percentthe proportionately higher will be the reduction in time to produce the 1,000^th unit. D) not related. E) related in a linear inverse fashion, meaning the higher the learning curve percentthe proportionately lower will be the reduction in time to produce the 1,000^th unit.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The learning curve percent and the reduction in time to produce subsequent units are inversely related. A higher learning curve percent indicates a slower rate of learning and thus a smaller reduction in time to produce the 1,000th unit compared to the first unit.
