Construct a graph to show how the time to complete the 10th car changes as the learning curve slope parameter is varied from 75% to 95%. The Mechanical Engineering department has a student team that is designing a formula car for national competition. The time required for the team to assemble the first car is 100 hours. Their improvement (or learning rate) is 0.8, which means that as output is doubled, their time to assemble a car is reduced by 20%. Use this information to determine, Solve, (a) the time it will take the team to assemble the 10th car. (b) the total time required to assemble the first 10 cars. (c) the estimated cumulative average assembly time for the first 10 cars. Solve by hand and by spreadsheet.
