Discuss PMI PMI-SP Exam Topic 2 Question 46

You are the project manager for the NGH project. The figure given below represents the small

project you are completing for your organization.

How much float can you use on Activity G if Activity B actually takes eight days to complete?

AFour

BThree

CSeven

DZero

Suggested Answer: D

If Activity B uses seven days of float, which it can, it does not allow Activity D, G, or J to

have any float available. This is because the total

duration of path ABDGJK cannot exceed 30 days, the duration of the project. If Activity B uses the

seven days of float, then the path meets

the project's duration at Day 30.

Answer options B and A are incorrect. These are not the valid calculation.

Answer option C is incorrect. Seven represents the amount of float available on Activity G before

Activity B uses the available float.

Totally agree, 4 days makes sense!

Reid 1 year ago

Wait, how can it be 4? I’m not so sure about that.

Josefa 1 year ago

Definitely 4 days, that’s the calculation!

Franklyn 1 year ago

I think it should be 3 days, though.

Darrin 1 year ago

Float for Activity G is 4 days if B takes 8 days.

I’m a bit confused about how to calculate the float here. I thought float was just based on total project duration, but now I’m not so sure.

I feel like I might have seen a question where we had to adjust float based on changes in activity durations. I think the answer could be zero if G is on the critical path.

This question seems similar to the practice problems we did last week. I think if Activity B takes longer, it might reduce the float for G, but I can't recall the exact numbers.

I remember we discussed float calculations in class, but I'm not entirely sure how Activity B's duration affects Activity G's float.

The firewall blocking the port is the most obvious reason, in my opinion. I'll make sure to select that one.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused here. The question is asking about IEEE standards, but the answer choices seem to be about other wireless technologies like WiMAX and Bluetooth. I'll need to carefully read the statement and think about which standard the IEEE 802.11 series actually refers to.

Hmm, I'm not entirely sure about this one. The options seem to be talking about different Splunk commands and features, but I'm not sure which one is the best way to test for a normalized data model.

I'm confident I know the right answer here. The principles of testing are well-covered in the course material, so I should be able to identify the correct ones.

I have a hunch that options C and D are incorrect because they assume the data is in a list format. But I'm still debating between A and B.
