[All L5M8 Questions]

Daniel is a Project Manager and has just run a risk simulation to find out the likelihood of his project taking 3, 4, or 5 weeks to complete. He discovered it is equally likely the project would take any of those durations. What type of distribution is this?

Abell curve

Bnormal

Ctriangular

Duniform

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D

A uniform distribution gives equal probability to all outcomes. Each project duration (3, 4, 5 weeks) has the same likelihood, making it uniformly distributed.

I keep mixing up triangular and uniform distributions. I guess since there’s no peak or skew, it must be uniform, but I’m not 100% confident.

This question reminds me of a practice problem where we discussed uniform distributions. I think the answer is D, uniform.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like the normal distribution wouldn't apply since the project durations are discrete and not continuous.

I remember studying different types of distributions, and I think a uniform distribution fits here since all outcomes are equally likely.
