latest time that an activity can be started without delaying the entire project
earliest time that an activity can start without violation of precedence requirements
latest time that an activity can be finished without delaying the entire project
none of the above
Question 2. 2.Given an activity’s optimistic, most likely, and pessimistic time estimates of 4, 12, and 18 days respectively, what is the PERT variance for this activity? (Points : 2)
2.33
5.44
8.00

Question 6. 6.Bank Boston has a branch at Bryant College. The branch is busiest at the beginning of the college year when freshmen and transfer students open accounts. This year, freshmen arrived at the office at a rate of 40 per day (assume 8-hour days). On average, it takes the Bank Boston staff person about ten minutes to process each account application. The bank is considering having one or two tellers. Each teller is paid $12 per hour and the cost of waiting in line is assumed to be $8 per hour.
What is the average number of people waiting to open accounts? (Points : 2)
3.27
4.16
5.27
5.83
Question 7. 7.A suburban specialty restaurant has developed a single drive-thru window. Customers order, pay, and pick up their food at the same window. Arrivals follow a Poisson distribution while service times follow an exponential distribution. If the average number of arrivals is 6 per hour and the service rate is 2 every 15 minutes, how much time will elapse (in hours) from the time a customer enters the line until he/she leaves the restaurant? (Points : 2)
0.50
0.25
0.75
2.25
3.00
Question 8. 8.A widely used mathematical programming technique designed to help managers and decision making relative to resource allocation is called __________. (Points : 2)
linear programming
computer programming
constraint programming
goal programming
None of the above
Question 9. 9.Consider the following linear programming problem:
Maximize 12X + 10Y
Subject to:
4X + 3Y ? 480
2X + 3Y ? 360
all variables ? 0
The maximum possible value for the objective function is __________. (Points:2)
360
480
1,520
1,560
none of the above
Question 10. 10.If items being transported must go through an intermediate point before reaching a final destination, then this situation is known as a(n) __________. (Points : 2)
transshipment problem
assignment problem
transportation problem
intermediate point problem
None of the above
Question 11. 11.Which of the following is not a popular definition of quality? (Points : 2)
Quality is the totality of features and characteristics of a product or service that bears on its ability to satisfy stated or implied needs.
