    Good afternoon John

    Going over learning rates (Question 100 MCQ Kaplan Exam Kit)

    The question is “the time for the 1st batch of 50 units was 500 hours. The total time for the 1st 16 batches of 50 units was 5,731. Whats is the learning rate?”

    i have calculated that the learning rate is 90% but answer is 92%

    i have calculated as follows:

    16th Batch is 500 x 16 = 8,000 hours

    5731 / 8000 = 90%

    However this is wrong

    The average time for 16 batches is 5731/16 = 358.1875 per batch.

    Therefore the learning rate is the fourth root of 358.175 / 500, which is equal to 0.92 (or 92%)

    I really do suggest that you watch my free lectures. The lectures on here are a complete course covering everything you need to be able to pass F5 well!
