How is parametric estimating performed?

  1. Through detailed analysis of current project activities only

  2. By applying project management strategies

  3. Using a statistical relationship between historical data and other variables

  4. Solely based on expert judgment

The correct answer is: Using a statistical relationship between historical data and other variables

Parametric estimating is a technique used to estimate project costs, durations, and resources by using a statistical relationship between historical data and other variables. This means that instead of only relying on expert judgment or analyzing current project activities, parametric estimating takes into account historical data and other factors that may impact project outcomes. Therefore, options A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not incorporate this statistical relationship approach.
