How to Evaluate Expected Time given Probability Factor?

Expected Time given Probability Factor evaluator uses Mean Time = Scheduled Time-(Standard Deviation*Probability Factor) to evaluate the Mean Time, The Expected Time given Probability Factor formula is defined as the mean time for completion of the event, if a factor is 0, then scheduled time = expected time and hence probability is 50%. Mean Time is denoted by te symbol.

How to evaluate Expected Time given Probability Factor using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Expected Time given Probability Factor, enter Scheduled Time (Ts), Standard Deviation (σ) & Probability Factor (Z) and hit the calculate button.

FAQs on Expected Time given Probability Factor
