The total completed story points from the first six sprints is: 10 + 11 + 15 + 14 + 15 + 10 = 75. The remaining story points are: 42. Adding the completed and remaining story points: 75 + 42 = 117. Now, to calculate the average story points per Sprint: 117 (total story points) / 6 (number of completed sprints) = 19.5. So, each Sprint, on average, has covered 19.5 story points. To determine the approximate number of Sprints required to complete the remaining 42 story points: 42 (remaining story points) / 19.5 (average story points per Sprint) ≈ 2.15. Since you can't have a fraction of a Sprint, rounding up gives you approximately 3 Sprints. So, the correct answer is: D. 3

as we are mentioning something which is by definition unpredictable, best approach is to use montecarlo simulation. Average or last sprint is not giving any good prediction. So can be several answers

Should be B: i.e., 5 because - minimum that can be done in a sprint is 10. Hence for 42, atleast 5 sprints needed (assuming least per sprint is 10)

The correct answer is C (4 Sprints): 75/6=12.5 ; 42/12.5= 3.36 should be rounded to 4

B; This will be based on the worst case scenario. That is, the least pontos. so 42/10=4.2 and to nearest whole number = 5.

Average work done in 6 sprints - 70/6 = 11.6 rounding off to 12. remaining backlog - 42. # of sprints required 42/12 = 3.5 rounded to 4
