Essay

Consider the table below with information regarding each activity, immediate predecessors, and duration estimates (in minutes) for each activity. $$\begin{array} { c | c | c | c | c } \hline \text { Activity } & \begin{array} { c } \text { Immediate } \\\text { Predecessors }\end{array} & \begin{array} { c } \text { Minimum } \\\text { Time }\end{array} & \text { Likely Time } & \begin{array} { c } \text { Maximum } \\\text { Time }\end{array} \\\hline \text { A } & - & 6 & 7 & 9 \\\text { B } & - & 4 & 9 & 11 \\\text { C } & \text { A } & 3 & 9 & 12 \\\text { D } & \text { B } & 2 & 6 & 12 \\\text { E } & \text { B, C } & 3 & 5 & 10 \\\text { F } & \text { D } & 4 & 7 & 9 \\\text { G } & \text { E } & 4 & 7 & 15\end{array}$$

Definitions:

Interposition

A visual cue in depth perception where one object partly covers another, indicating that the former is closer to the viewer than the latter.

Relative Size

An aspect of visual perception that allows one to judge the size of an object in relation to other objects within the same field of view.

Linear Perspective

A system of creating an illusion of depth on a flat surface by converging lines in a painting or drawing to a single vanishing point on the composition's horizon line.

Interposition

A visual cue in which one object partly obstructs another, indicating that the obstructing object is closer in distance.
