Mike, a project team member indicates that his programming task will take about 5 days to complete if everything goes flawlessly. Normally, this type of task takes about 7 days. But, if things go wrong, it could take up to 8 days. What is his PERT duration

Pert Estimate = 6.83

Explanation:

The PERT duration is calculated using the following formula

Pert Estimate = (Optimistic + (4 X Most Likely) + Pessimistic)/6

In this scenario, the most optimistic amount of time would be 5 days for completion. The most likely or average amount of time this type of project takes is 7 days, and if things go wrong the most pessimistic outlook is 8 days. Therefore we can plug these values into the formula and calculate the PERT duration.

Pert Estimate = (5 + (4 * 7) + 8)/6

Pert Estimate = (5 + (28) + 8)/6

Pert Estimate = 41/6

Pert Estimate = 6.83

answer; i do believe that the correct answer is ; ///are valued more highly than their cost;
