LEARNING CURVE
5y ago#1You need to use the formula provided to calculate the average time per job when they do six jobs.
Multiplying this by 6 gives you the total time taken to do 6 jobs.
Then you use the formula to calculate the average time per job when they do five jobs.
Multiplying this by 5 gives you the total time taken to do 5 jobs.
To find out how long the 6th job took, we subtract the total time to do 5 jobs from the total time to do 6 jobs.
I do explain all of this, with examples, in my free lectures on learning curves. The lectures are a complete free course for Paper PM and cover everything needed to be able to pass the exam well.
