a. approx 30 hr

b. approx 20 hr

c. approx 14 hr 46 min

d. approx 12 hr 42 min

Solutions

Expert Solution

We will use learning curve table to arrive at required answer .

Given are following details :

Time taken for 1^st defibrillator = 90 minutes

Learning curve = 90%

Using data from learning curve table , time to complete all 20 units = 1315 minutes = 21.91 hours ( i.e. approx. 20 hours )

ANSWER : b ) approx. 20 hours
