Selected Answer: A
In this scenario, the 25 workstations per hour is a parametric estimate. Parametric estimation is a technique that uses historical data or predefined rates (such as 25 workstations per hour) to estimate the duration, effort, or cost of a project task. According to BABOK Section 10.30: Estimation, parametric estimates are derived from measurable parameters such as the number of units produced in a set amount of time and can be used to calculate project timelines, costs, or resource needs. By knowing how many workstations can be installed per hour, the business analyst can calculate how long it will take to complete the task and adjust resource allocation or requirement prioritization accordingly.
