J 1 ue K Beth Zion Hospital has received initial certification from the state of California to become a center for liver transplants. The hospital, however, must complete its first 10 transplants under great scrutiny and at no cost to the patients with the hospital picking the expenses. The cost per hour of surgery is estimated to be $5,000. The very first transplant, just completed, required 27 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 10th transplant hours (round your response to two decimal places). Learning Curve Coefficients Unit Number (N) 10 Unit Time .385 75% Total Time 5.589 Unit Time .477 80% Total Time 6.315 Unit Time .583 85% Total Time 7.116 X
