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 feel confused. Why not A) bell curve? It sounds familiar.

I thought it might be triangular at first.

Wait, how can it be uniform? Isn't it more complex?

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.
