How is the project mean calculated?

  1. By adding the means of the individual tasks

  2. By dividing the total project tasks by the number of tasks

  3. By the most frequent value among the individual tasks

  4. By calculating the median of the project tasks

The correct answer is: By adding the means of the individual tasks

The correct answer is A. By adding the means of the individual tasks. To calculate the project mean, you sum up the means of the individual tasks. This method gives a weighted average based on each task's duration or effort estimates. It is not determined by dividing the total project tasks by the number of tasks (B), finding the most frequent value among individual tasks (C), or by calculating the median of the project tasks (D) which are all incorrect ways to determine the project mean.
