Question

Laura is forecasting the time and cost of developing an intranet for a new customer. Her department has completed six such intranets for customers during the last two years. Although the proposed system is about the same size as the others she estimates that it will take about 10 percent less time and money. Which of the following methods is she using?

a. function pointb. templatec. apportiond. ratioe. learning curve

Answer 1

The correct answer is e. learning curve.

Step-by-step explanation:

A learning curve describes the degree of success obtained during learning over time. It is a diagram in which the horizontal axis represents the elapsed time and the vertical axis represents the number of successes achieved in that time.

Many mistakes are often made when starting a new task. In the later phases the errors diminish, but also the new learned subjects, until arriving at a plain.

It is also possible that the result of the learning process is random, so that the apprentice only believes to learn or forget something (nodeterministic experiment).
