For a project called "The Sheep Market", Aaron Koblin collected drawings of sheep from strangers on the Internet. He posted the task on the Amazon Mechanical Turk crowdsourcing platform for 2 cents, and over the course of 40 days, at a rate of about 11 sheep per hour, he collected 10,000 drawings from 7,599 IP addresses. Which of these is true about his decision to crowdsource the sheep drawings?

Answer:

Aaron could expect a diversity in the style of the sheep drawings.

Step-by-step explanation:

Crowdsourcing is a simply a sourcing model in which an individual or organizations get goods and services, ideas and finances, from a large, relatively open and often rapidly growing group of internet users.

It makes it easier for participants to achieve a cumulative result through working differently on the same project. That is to say, it provides work between participants to achieve a cumulative result.

Its benefits is that, Crowdsourcing allows businesses to perform tasks more quickly than when a single employee is working alone. Again, Breaking up a project into a collection of smaller pieces and providing these pieces to a larger group of workers hastens the completion of projects. Overall, crowdsourcing presents a more efficient way to do work.

From the Question, Aaron was able to get different pictures of sheep in their numbers also because he used crowsourcing on amazon.

He got a variety of pictures and so many in such a short time for his project "The Sheep Market".
