Question

What is the PERT weighted average based on an optimistic estimate of six days, a most likely estimate of eight days, and a pessimistic time of sixteen days

Answer 1

the PERT weighted average is 9 days

What is PERT weighted average?

PERT can be defined as an estimating technique that uses a weighted average of three numbers to get a final estimate.

The formula for finding the PERT weighted average is given as;

PERT weighted average = (Optimistic + (4 X Most Likely) + Pessimistic)/6

We have;

• Optimistic = 6 days
• Most likely = 8 days
• Pessimistic = 16 days

Substitute the values into the formula

PERT weighted average  = $\frac{6 + 4(8) + 16 }{6}$

PERT weighted average  = $\frac{54}{6}$

PERT weighted average  = 9 days

Thus, the PERT weighted average is 9 days
