Q27) Standard deviaitoin for ranges always you need calculate the SD for individual P-O/6


         Then Calculate the variance for each of the SD calculated, ( P-O/6)^2


         Then add up the variances to find the final value of SD


SD 24-12/6= 12/6=2, variance=square of 2=4
SD 14-8/6=6/6=1, variance=1
SD 27-15/6=12/6=2, variance =4
SD 28-10/6=18/6=3, variance=9
SD 35-17/6=18/6=3, variance=9


now add up all variances= 4+1+4+9+9=27
now take sq root of 27=5.2

Q31)


Act1=20 days


Act2=10 days


Act3=5 days with FF-2 days


Act 4=6 days with FS+3


Now since we have FF relationship  and lead of 2days, will consider Act3 will finish along with Act2 and since there is lead of 2 days, then it should deducted from next Act4


so, Act1 (20days) + Act2 (10days)+ Act4 (6days) +3 days for lag - 2 days for lead


20+10+6+3-2= 37 days


Note Act3 do not coem into picture for calculation but it's lead time is considered for substracting.

When they say FF between A and B, this means for B to finish (completion of the successor), A must finish first (depends upon completion of the predecissor). 

 

So between Act2 and 3 there is a FF realtionship with -2 (i understood it as a lag of 2 days).

Your answer is the right one but also very simple. Just add the numbers....

for this question, draw a bar(gantt) chart.

 

It greatly simplifies the problem.

Let us all know about the certification sites. We just need to have a better idea about the quality of different bestessays.com review blogs. I just like this blog so much and people will like this idea as well .
