A list of differences between PERT and CPM is given below. Choose the option that is incorrectly matched with either PERT or CPM. CPM categorises activities into critical and non-critical activities whereas PERT does not.In PERT, the duration of activities is accurate and definite whereas in CPM it is not.PERT is a probabilistic management tool whereas CPM is a deterministic management tool. PERT is suitable for defense and R&D projects where activity time cannot be reliably predicted whereas CPM is suitable for problems in industrial settings, plant maintenance and civil construction projects.

What is an accurate difference between the Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT) and critical path method (CPM)?Group of answer choicesPERT uses different duration estimates whereas CPM uses one specific duration estimate.CPM involves more work than PERT because it requires several duration estimates.CPM addresses the risk associated with duration estimates whereas PERT does not.Unlike CPM, PERT estimates only when there is no risk of uncertainty.

Which of these methods is useful for non-research and research based projects respectively?a.CPM and PERTb.PERT and CPMc.CPM and PERT both togetherd.Neither of the CPM and PERT

What is true about the PERT/CPM technique for creating a suitable schedule for the given project1. It is based on the work breakdown structure.2. The early start and Early finish times are obtained while calculating backwords.3. Slack time for a task not falling in the critical path cannot be zero.4. Slack time for all tasks falling in the critical path must be zero.5. The late finish of the project is the same time with which the last task finishes at the earliest possible time.Group of answer choices1, 2, and 41 and 31, 3, and 53 and 5

A CPM/PERT project network with probabilistic activity times includes an activity with a most likely time of 17 days, an optimistic time of 8 days, and a pessimistic time of 26 days. The mean time for this activity is  (round to the nearest whole number)

A CPM/PERT project network with probabilistic activity times includes an activity with a most likely time of 18 days, an optimistic time of 5 days, and a pessimistic time of 23 days. The mean time for this activity is  (round to the nearest whole number)
