Diagram 2

If you remember the earlier diagram above (diagram 1) [see Uncertain events part 3], this represents 2 uncertain events and shows how we dealt with them. The main task was the purchase of 10 pumps with the potential uncertain event being the purchase of a possible additional 5 pumps.

It shows 2 pathways:

Pathway 1 = 70% likelihood of occurring
   
MINIMUM = £10,000
MAXIMUM = £15,000
LIKELY = £12,500

And

Pathway 2 = 30% likelihood of occurring
   
MINIMUM = £15,000
MAXIMUM = £22,500
LIKELY = £18,750

This suggests that the total cost could lie between £10,000 to £22,500.

The total cost (with the uncertain event) could be represented by a 3 point estimate similar to the lower diagram above (diagram 2).
