What feature in project management information systems can be used to resolve overallocation of project resources?

The expected times and variances for the project activities are given below. What is the probability of completing the project in 25 periods?

$$\begin{array}{lllcc}1 & \text { Pilot production } & \text { None } & 6 & 3 \\ 2 & \text { Select channels of distrib. } & \text { None } & 7 & 4 \\ 3 & \text { Develop mktg. program } & \text { None } & 4 & 2 \\ 4 & \text { Test market } & 1 & 4 & 2 \\ 5 & \text { Patent } & 1 & 10 & 5 \\ 6 & \text { Full production } & 4 & 16 & 10 \\ 7 & \text { Ad promotion } & 3 & 3 & 2 \\ 8 & \text { Release } & 2,5,6,7 & 2 & 1\end{array}$$

Given the project information below, what is the probability of completing the National Holiday Toy project in 93 time units?

$$\begin{array}{lllccl}1 & \text { Design package } & \text { None } & 6 & 12 & 24 \\ 2 & \text { Design product } & 1 & 16 & 19 & 28 \\ 3 & \text { Build package } & 1 & 4 & 7 & 10 \\ 4 & \text { Secure patent } & 2 & 24 & 27 & 36 \\ 5 & \text { Build product } & 2 & 17 & 29 & 47 \\ 6 & \text { Paint } & 3,4,5 & 4 & 7 & 10 \\ 7 & \text { Test market } & 6 & 13 & 16 & 19\end{array}$$

Determine whether each of the following is likely to be a true solution, a suspension, or a colloidal mixture: (a) orange juice, (b) apple juice, (c) perfume, (d) tea, (e) tea with lemon juice, (f) canned gravy. If you have a laser pointer, how can you confirm your answers?

Draw a project network from the following information. What activity(s) is a burst activity? What activity(s) is a merge activity?

You are creating a customer database for the Lehigh Valley IronPigs minor league baseball team. Draw a project network given the information below. Complete the forward and backward pass, compute activity slack, and identify the critical path. How long will this project take? How sensitive is the network schedule? Calculate the free slack and total slack for all noncritical activities

A Risk Response Matrix contains all of the following except:

• A) Contingency plan
• B) Trigger
• C) Who is responsible
• D) Response
• E) All of these are included in the matrix

A race car enters the circular portion of a track that has a radius of $70 \mathrm{~m}$. When the car enters the curve at point $P$, it is traveling with a speed of 120 $\mathrm{km} / \mathrm{h}$ that is increasing at $5 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^2$. Three seconds later, determine the $x$ and $y$ components of velocity and acceleration of the car.

You have prepared the following schedule for a project in which the key resource is a backhoe(s). This schedule is contingent on having 3 backhoes. You receive a call from your partner, Brooker, who desperately needs one of your backhoes. You tell Brooker you would be willing to let him have the backhoe if you are still able to complete your project in 11 months. Develop a resource schedule in the loading chart that follows to see if it is possible to complete the project in 11 months with only 2 backhoes. Be sure to record the order in which you schedule the activities using scheduling heuristics. Activities 5 and 6 require 2 backhoes, while activities 1, 2, 3, and 4 require 1 backhoe. No splitting of activities is possible. Can you say yes to Brooker’s request?

Given the time-phased work packages, complete the baseline budget form for the project.

The National Oceanic Research Institute is planning a research study on global warming in Antarctica. The 16-month network schedule is presented below. It is followed by budgets for each activity. Create a time-phased budget for the research project in the form provided

A large Southeast city is requesting federal funding for a park-and-ride project. One of the requirements in the request application is a network plan for the design phase of the project. Sophie Kim, the chief engineer, wants you to develop a project network plan to meet this requirement. She has gathered the activity time estimates and their dependencies shown here. Show your project network with the activity early, late, and slack times. Mark the critical path.

The planning department of an electronics firm has set up the activities for developing and production of a new MP3 Player. Given the information below, develop a project network using Microsoft Project. Assume a five-day workweek and the project starts on January 4, 2017. The project team has requested that you create a network for the project, and determine if the project can be completed in 45 weeks.
