The learning curve suggests that each time the cumulative production doubles, the time per unit decreases by a consistent percentage. With an 85% learning curve, the time to complete each subsequent room decreases. The average time per room is calculated using the learning curve formula, resulting in approximately 2.05 hours per room.
