The hospital, however, must complete its first 18 transplants under great scrutiny and at no cost to the patients. The very first transplant, just completed, required 30 hours. On the basis of research at the hospital, Beth Zion estimates that it will have an 85% learning curve. Using Table E.3, estimate the time it will take to complete: a) the 5th transplant hours (round your response to two decimal places). X Learning Curve Coefficients 75% 80% 85% Unit Number (N) Unit Time Total Time Unit Time Total Time Unit Time Total Time 5 .513 3.459 .596 3.738 .686 4.031 18 .301 8.245 .394 9.716 .508 11.405 Print Done B) the first 5 transplants hours (response should be rounded to the nearest 2nd decimal place) C) the 18th transplant hours (response should be rounded to the nearest 2nd decimal place) D) the first 18 transplants hours (response should be rounded to the nearest 2nd decimal place)
