An assembled product is built by 10 worker who coordinate their task. A total of 100 units will be made. Time records indicate t

hat the 10 workers took a total of 95 hrs. (unit time) to complete the first unit of the product. Times to complete the second and third units of work are not available; however, the fourth work unit took 71 hr. to complete. Determine (a) the learning rate percentage and (b) the most likely times required to complete the second and third units. (c) If the learning rate continues, how long will it take to complete the 100th unit

Answer:

a) 86%

b) 2nd unit = 82 hs.

3rd unit = 75 hs

c) 100th unit = 36 hs

Step-by-step explanation:

We can model the learning curve for manufacturing the units as:

t=aX^b

where t is the time for the Xth unit, and a and b are parameters that we will calculate from the data,

We know that t(1)=95. Then, we have:

t(1)=a\cdot 1^b=95\\\\a=95

And we know that the fourth unit (X=4) take 71 hours to be completed (t(4)=71). Then, we can calculate the other parameter as:

t(4)=95\cdot4^b=71\\\\4^b=71/95\approx 0.7473\\\\b\cdot ln(4)=ln(0.7473)\\\\b=ln(0.7473)/ln(4)=-0.291/1.386\\\\b=-0.21

We have the model for the learning curve:

t=95X^{-0.21}

The learning rate percentage is calculated from the b parameter:

b=\dfrac{ln(LRP)}{ln(2)}=-0.21\\\\\\ln(LRP)=-0.21*ln(2)=-0.21*0.693=-0.1455\\\\LRP=e^{-0.1455}=0.86

The learning rate percentage is 86%.

b) The most likely times required for the 2nd and 3rd units are calculated with the model:

t(2)=95\cdot2^{-0.21}=95*0.864=82\\\\t(3)=95\cdot3^{-0.21}=95*0.794=75

c) If we use the model to calculate the time required for the 100th unit, we have:

t(100)=95\cdot100^{-0.21}=95*0.38=36

A telephone poll asked people whether they like playing golf. 120 people said they like playing golf and 630 people said they do
Paladinen [302]
First we need to know how many people were asked - 120 + 630 = 750 people
Now we make fractions - 120/750 and 630/750
Divide the fractions - 120/750 = 0.16 and 630/750 = 0.84
Multiply the results by 100 so we can get the percentage - 0.16 x 100 = 16% and 0.84 x 100 = 84%

The percentage of people that like playing golf is 16%.

Answer:

  • vertical scaling by a factor of 1/3 (compression)
  • reflection over the y-axis
  • horizontal scaling by a factor of 3 (expansion)
  • translation left 1 unit
  • translation up 3 units

Step-by-step explanation:

These are the transformations of interest:

  g(x) = k·f(x) . . . . . vertical scaling (expansion) by a factor of k

  g(x) = f(x) +k . . . . vertical translation by k units (upward)

  g(x) = f(x/k) . . . . . horizontal expansion by a factor of k. When k < 0, the function is also reflected over the y-axis

  g(x) = f(x-k) . . . . . horizontal translation to the right by k units

__

Here, we have ...

  g(x) = 1/3f(-1/3(x+1)) +3

The vertical and horizontal transformations can be applied in either order, since neither affects the other. If we work left-to-right through the expression for g(x), we can see these transformations have been applied:

  • vertical scaling by a factor of 1/3 (compression) . . . 1/3f(x)
  • reflection over the y-axis . . . 1/3f(-x)
  • horizontal scaling by a factor of 3 (expansion) . . . 1/3f(-1/3x)
  • translation left 1 unit . . . 1/3f(-1/3(x+1))
  • translation up 3 units . . . 1/3f(-1/3(x+1)) +3

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

The "working" is a matter of matching the form of g(x) to the forms of the different transformations. It is a pattern-matching problem.

The horizontal transformations could also be described as ...

  • translation right 1/3 unit . . . f(x -1/3)
  • reflection over y and expansion by a factor of 3 . . . f(-1/3x -1/3)

The initial translation in this scenario would be reflected to a translation left 1/3 unit, then the horizontal expansion would turn that into a translation left 1 unit, as described above. Order matters.
