Our scientific understanding of the vastness of the universe and the relative insignificance of Earth and human civilization on a galactic scale increases every day. The first planet outside our solar system was discovered in 1992, and since then, hundreds have been found. A study done at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in 2011, for example, estimated that the Milky Way Galaxy alone should contain about 2 billion Earth-like planets. If this estimate is accurate, then the statistical likelihood that at least one, if not more, has also evolved life, possibly even intelligent life, is higher than ever before.

- Expected completion times and variance attached.
Using PERT charts and the optimistic, most likely and pessimistic times, we can estimate the expected time for each activity. PERT assumes the beta probability distribution for time estimates. A beta distribution can be used to estimate the expected time for each activity using weighted average (Karen K. Kirst-Ashman, 2011).

In the case of variance, three standard deviations are assumed to exist between the optimistic and the pessimistic values.
Thus variance = [(Pessimistic – Optimistic )/6 ]2.
The critical path is the longest path duration of the project. Slack time is the amount of time

Answer 1. Virtual reality is a computer-generated, interactive, three-dimensional environment in which people get immersed.
