Some activities on the critical path may have slack.
The shortest of all paths through the network is the critical path.
On a specific project, there can be multiple critical paths, all with exactly the same duration.

Q.8.

Which of the following statements regarding pert times is true?

Optimistic time estimate is an estimate of the maximum time an activity will require.
Optimistic time estimate is an estimate of the minimum time an activity will require.
None of the above

Q.9.

Which of the following statements regarding cpm networks is true?

Q.10.

Which of the following statements regarding pert analysis is true?

Each activity has three estimates of its duration.

Project variance is the sum of all critical activity variances.
The most likely time is different from the expected activity time.

Q.11.

The earliest start time rule
