    The average time for the first batch of 10 units is 120 hours.

    They then make another 30, so in total they have now made 40 units (or 4 batches of 10 units) and taken a total of 270 hours.

    So the average time per batch of 10 units when they make 4 batches is 270/4 = 67.5 hours.

    Going from 1 batch of 10 units to 4 batches of 10 units means doubling two times.

    Therefore, if R is the learning rate:
    67.5 = 120 x R^2

    So R = square root of 67.5/120 = 0.75 (or 75%)

    I assume that you have watched our 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)
