I explain exactly how to do this in my free lectures on learning curves. Please do not expect me to type out my lectures again here!! The average time per unit when they produce 2 units is (8 + 7.5) / 2 = 7.75 hours. Therefore using the doubling rule, the learning rate is 7.75/8 = 0.96875 (or 96.875%)
