c) For the given learning rate, the learning curve coefficient for 18th units = ___ the 18th transplant ____ hours (response should be rounded to the nearest 2nd decimal place)

d) For the given learning rate, the cumulative learning curve coefficient for 18th units = ____ the first 18 transplant ____ hours (response should be rounded to the nearest 2nd decimal place)

Beth Zion Hospital has received initial certification from the state of California become a center for liver transplants. 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 28 hours. On the basis of research at the hospital, Beth Zion estimates that it will have an 75% learning curve. Using Table E.3, estimate the time it will take to complete: a) the 5th transplant 14.36 hours (round your response to two decimal places). b) the first 5 transplants hours (round your response to two decimal places)
