Answer:

<em>Most likely time, </em>according to PERT (Program evaluation and review technique).

Step-by-step explanation:

PERT is "a statistical tool used in <em>project management" (Program evaluation and review technique (2020), </em>in Wikipedia), and it is commonly used with CPM <em>(Critical Path Method)</em> to manage projects.

Inside PERT, there are different defined times to accomplished an activity in a project, that is:

  • An <em>optimistic time</em> or minimum time required to accomplished an activity, i.e., if everything goes better than normal, the activity is accomplished before expected.
  • A <em>pessimistic time, </em>a time quite the opposite to optimistic time.
  • A <em>most likely time</em>, or a time required to accomplished an activity if everything goes as expected or normally.
  • An <em>expected time</em>, an statistical estimation.

Considering the question, we have that the <em>time</em> when "the first module of the project could be completed":

  • "[...] in as few as 15 days"  is the <em>optimistic time</em>.
  • "[...] or could take as many as 25 days" is the <em>pessimistic time</em>.
  • "[...] but most likely will require 20 days" is the <em>most likely time</em>.

As a result, the <em>20-day estimate</em> is called the <em>most likely time</em> in the context of the PERT/CPM techniques.

PLEASE HELP ME QUICKLY!!! Given that N:{1,2,3,5,8,13} and M:{−9,−8,−6,−4,−2,4}, which statements about N and M are true?
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

The intersection of N and M contains only those elements that are in both N and M.

The intersection of N and M is ϕ.

​N∩M=∅

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

M = { 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13}

N = {-9, -8, -6, -4, -2, 4}

Now let us see each statement one by one.

The intersection of N and M contains only those elements that are in both N and M.

The statement is true because by definition intersection of two sets consists of common elements of both sets.

The intersection of N and M is ϕ.

The statement is true. As there is no common element in both sets.

The intersection of N and M is {−9,−8,−6,−4,−2}.

The statement is false because there is not common element in M and N.

N∪M=∅

The statement is false as the union consists of elements of both sets so it can't be empty.

​N∩M=∅

True. Because no common element so intersection will be an empty set..

Find the area and the circumference of a circle with diameter 9 yards using the value 3.14 for pi
Ray Of Light [21]
Area of circle = pi r^, (r)radius is half the diameter so 9÷2=4.5 so in this scenario it would be 3.14×4.5^
3.14×4.5×4.5=63.6

circumference of circle= diameter×pi (3.14)
so 9×3.14=28.3

Mary buys a reel of thread for sewing. There are 10 m of thread on the real. She uses 210 cm. How much is left on the reel in ce
babunello [35]

Answer:

the length of the thread remaining is 790 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

original length of the thread, L₀ = 10 m = 1000 cm

the length of the thread used, L₁ = 210 cm

The length of the thread remaining is calculated as follows;

ΔL = L₀ - L₁

ΔL = 1000 cm - 210 cm

ΔL = 790 cm

Therefore, the length of the thread remaining is 790 cm
