## Project Time Estimation for Gift Shop RenovationThe gift shop at Orlando Amway Center is undergoing renovations, which involve six distinct activities. Each activity's estimated time (in hours) is categorized into three values: optimistic (a), most likely (m), and pessimistic (b).### Activity Time Estimates| Activity | a | m | b ||----------|----|----|----|| A | 12 | 16 | 20 || B | 27 | 32 | 41 || C | 18 | 18 | 18 || D | 7 | 14 | 20 || E | 16 | 17 | 21 || F | 16 | 18 | 21 |### Expected Time CalculationFor each activity, the expected time can be calculated using the formula:\[ \text{Expected Time} = \frac{a + 4m + b}{6} \]This formula provides a weighted average, where the most likely time is given more weight.### Example Calculation for Activity ABased on the given time estimates:\[\text{Expected Time for A} = \frac{12 + 4(16) + 20}{6}\]### Filling the Expected TimeFor activity A, calculate the expected time using the given formula and round your response to two decimal places.*Note: This method helps in better project planning and risk assessment by considering variability in time estimates.*
