The formula below is often used by project managers to compute E, the estimated time to complete a job, where O is the shortest completion time, P is the longest completion time, and M is the most likely completion time.E = 0 + 4M + P / 6Which of the following correctly gives P in terms of E, O, and M?

Correct answer: A. P = 6E - O - 4M

  • A. P = 6E - O - 4M
  • B. P = -6E + O + 4M
  • C. P = O + 4M + E / 6
  • D. P = O + 4M - E / 6

Explanation

Choice A is correct. Multiplying both sides of the equation by 6 results in 6E = O + 4M + P. Then, subtracting O + 4M from both sides of 6E = O + 4M + P gives P = 6E − O - 4M.
