Mauricio estimates that the first module of the project could be completed in as few as 15 days or could take as many as 25 days, but most likely will require 20 days. Determine the expected task duration.​
A) 22.5
B) 17.5
C) 20
D) 25

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is 20 hours to complete the project.

Explanation:

Project evaluation and review technique is used to estimate the time it takes to execute a project. It makes use of 3 data points (worst estimate, most likely estimate, and best estimate) to make a final estimate.

Using the formula for project estimation below

P Estimate= {(Best estimate)+4(Most likely est)+(Worst estimate)}/6

P Estimate= to{(15+(4*20)+25)}/6

= (120)/6

= 20 hours
