An analogous estimate is a form of expert judgment because it relies on historical information. The historical information, assuming that it is accurate, serves as the conduit to the expert that created the historical information. Answer option C is incorrect. A bottom-up estimate creates an activity duration estimate for each work package in the WBS. Answer option A is incorrect. Parametric estimating uses a parameter, such as 10 hours per fixture installation, as a base to predict the duration of the project. Answer option D is incorrect. A definitive estimate, also known as a bottom- up estimate, accounts for the cost of each work package.

Wait, is this really how it works? Sounds a bit off.

No way, I always thought it was C!

I thought it was A at first, but B makes more sense.

Definitely B, that's the one based on expert judgment!

I’m leaning towards B, but I could be mixing it up with another type of estimate.

I practiced a question similar to this, and I think parametric estimates are more about statistical data rather than expert opinion.

I feel like bottom-up estimates require more detailed data, so they might not fit the expert judgment category.

I think I remember that expert judgment is often associated with analogous estimates, but I'm not entirely sure.

This is a tricky one. I'm not entirely sure what the "canvas apps" are referring to, and the device policy requirement adds an extra layer of complexity. I'll need to review the options closely and try to determine the best fit.

This seems like a straightforward question about the considerations for choosing a virtual machine class type when creating a Tanzu Kubernetes cluster. I'll need to focus on the amount of resources the VM should have and whether those resources need to be reserved on the host.

I've got a good feeling about A - Work center utilization. That seems to match the description in the question.

Okay, I think I've got this. The question is asking about the core design principles of service-oriented architecture, like making services autonomous, stateless, and loosely coupled. I'm going to go with option B on this one.
