Yes, exactly. It gives more weight to the most likely estimate, which in this case is 4 days.

So, the expected number of days is closer to the weighted average, right?

I agree. Using the three-point estimating technique helps to consider best case, worst case, and most likely scenarios.

I think the expected number of days should be somewhere between the most likely and pessimistic estimates.

I think I've got it! The expected duration should be 4 days. The formula makes sense, and it seems to match the information given in the question. This is a great way to estimate task durations when we don't have a lot of historical data to work with.

I went with 3, but now I see how 4 makes more sense.

Haha, yeah, it's like we're all trying to be the next Nostradamus here. But hey, at least we're learning something useful, even if it's a bit of a brain-teaser. I'm sticking with 4 days as well.

Okay, okay, I think I've got it now. The three-point estimating technique is like trying to hit a moving target with a blindfold on - it's a bit of a gamble, but it's better than just guessing, right? I'm going with 4 days too.

Wow, this is a tricky one! The three-point estimating technique is something we've been studying, but applying it to a real-world scenario can be challenging.
