    Dear John,

    The time taken to produce each of the first four batches of a new product were as follows:

    Batch number Time taken
    1 100 min
    2 70 min
    3 59 min
    4 55 min

    What was the rate of learning closest to?

    solution: 100 r2 = (100+70+59+55)/4

    My question is why r2? why not r3?
    Is it because 1-2-4 doubleing?

    Many thanks,

    Katalin

    1 to 2 is doubling one time.

    2 to 4 is doubling 2 times.

    Have you watched the free lectures on learning curves?
    The lectures are a complete free course for Paper F5 and cover everything needed to be able to pass the exam well.

    Thanks John.

    Yes, I am watching them and I find them very very useful.
    I just wasn’t sure as the question was mentioning 1-2-3-4 so I got a bit confused with the 3 🙂 but now is clear.

    Many thanks,

    Have a great day.
