My last employer used to ask this, i gave a estimate (best case to worst case) and he always picked the lower number. Learned something from this: never give a range, give the worst case.

I give them reasonable case and tell them it's if everything goes right.

After we exceed the estimate if they ask I tell them that not everything went right. I like my current management, they let us estimate in very low resolution, and expect that nothing will be delivered on time
