I'm going with B) $138. The expected cost should be somewhere between the best and worst case scenarios, right?

C) $140 seems like the obvious choice here. It's the most likely cost, so why overthink it?

That makes sense. So, the answer would be C) $140.

So, the expected cost would be ($140 + $115 + $165) / 3 = $140.

I think the expected activity cost is the average of the most likely, best case, and worst case scenarios.
