Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The three time estimates (optimistic, realistic, and pessimistic) are used in the Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT) to calculate the estimated time for an activity, using the formula:

Estimated Time = (Optimistic Time + 4 * Realistic Time + Pessimistic Time) / 6

Estimated Time = (4 + 4 * 6 + 8) / 6 = 6 weeks

Therefore, the statement is true, and the answer is A.

If an Activity's Optimistic Time Is 4 Weeks,its Realistic Time
