Further to Chris Tomasso’s expression of surprises, the company has now decided to work on three time estimates in lieu of the deterministic time estimates used before. The company is confident that while the Most Likely Time estimate for each activity will follow the current activity time presented in column #4 for the same activity, the Optimistic Time estimate will be 25% lower than the Most Likely Time Estimate, and the Pessimistic Time will be 40% more than the Most Likely Time Estimate. For instance, activity A that has Most Likely Time estimate of 7 weeks will have an Optimistic Time estimate of 5.25 weeks (7 x 0.75 = 5.25 weeks) and Pessimistic Time estimate of (7 X 1.4 =9.8 weeks). Complete an appropriate chart to show the (a) critical path on an AOA Network, (b) project completion time, (c) probability that project will be completed in less than 33 weeks?

in 2001, dell computer became the world’s largest personal computer vendor, continuing to

gain market share and post profits in an industry struggling with slumping sales and billions of

dollars in losses. dell sells 90% of its pcs directly to the final customer, largely bypassing the

reseller channel that accounts for most of the world’s pc sales. this direct customer relationship

is the key to dell’s business model, and provides distinct advantages over the indirect sales

model. dell’s direct relationship with the customer allows it to tailor its offerings to customer

needs, offer add-on products and services, and use the internet to offer a variety of customer

services. in addition, dell’s pcs are built to customers’ specifications upon receipt of an order,

giving dell additional advantages over indirect pc vendors who must try to forecast demand and

ship products based on those forecasts. dell’s direct sales and build-to-order model has achieved

superior performance in the pc industry in terms of inventory turnover, reduced overhead, cash

conversion, and return on investment (kraemer, et al., 2000).

explanation:

ans.

heterothermic organisms include those organisms that can switch between homeothermic (having body temperature higher than environment) and poikilothermic (having variation in internal body temperature) strategies.

some migratory birds show heterothermy as they decrease their metabolic rate during cold nights to keep their body temperature low. drop in metabolic rate allows increase in production efficiency of birds that reduces the internal body temperature to make it equal to external cold temperature during cold nights.

thus, the correct answer is 'birds allow their temperature drop in order to increase their production efficiency.'
