I’m not sure how this app is accurate, simple & effective along with FREE? But I’m so grateful. Getting professional qualifications can be so expensive & daunting to tackle.

Your project evaluations have come in as follows: Most Likely is 100 days, Pessimistic is 250 days, Optimistic is 75 days. What is the expected value of this calculation?

120.83 days

Expected value is calculated as follows: (Optimistic + Pessimistic + (4 × Most Likely)) ÷ 6. The formula is as follows: ($75 + $250 + (4 × $100)) ÷ 6 = $120.83.

Your project selection committee is estimating three projects. They are using a weighted scoring scheme that has three criteria: decrease training time, streamline customer support functions, and return on investment. The weights for these criteria are 5, 4, and 2, respectively. Your selection committee has completed scoring the three projects and has given you the scores for the three criteria. They are as in the figure. Which project should you select based on the scores from the weighted scoring model?

Project 1

Weighted scoring models use the weight of the criteria multiplied by the score to derive an overall score. Project 1’s score is 47, Project 2’s score is 45, and Project 3’s score is 42. Based on this information, Project 1 is the best choice.
