Simulation $1-$ Project Management

Suppose that a software

development project team has

arrived at the following time

estimates for a software project.

a$.$ The duration of each task is described by a normal statistical

distribution. If the duration of each task was precisely the mean of this

distribution, what would the duration of the project be$?$

b$.$ Report the overall mean duration of the project from $300$ simulations of

the above model $($using the statistical distributions and SimQuick$).$How does this number compare with the duration reported in part a$?$

Project duration $=(1$ mean inventory of End$)*($Simulation duration$)$
