This algorithm can easily be adapted to compute the variance of a finite population: simply divide by n instead of n − 1 on the last line.. Because SumSq and (Sum×Sum)/n can be very similar numbers, cancellation can lead to the precision of the result to be much less than the inherent precision of the floating-point arithmetic used to perform the computation.
The project has two critical paths: activities B and C, or A, D, and F – giving a minimum project time of 7 months with fast tracking. Activity E is sub-critical, and has a float of 1 month. The critical path method ( CPM ), or critical path analysis ( CPA ), is an algorithm for scheduling a set of project activities. [ 1 ]

The total number, as well as the smaller numbers for various elements within a project, can be used for managing a project team, determining the team's efficiency, and ensuring that the project is not wasting materials and budget unnecessarily. The BOE can be used to ensure financial stability of a company.
This assumption about the mean was first proposed in Clark, 1962 [1] for estimating the effect of uncertainty of task durations on the outcome of a project schedule being evaluated using the program evaluation and review technique, hence its name. The mathematics of the distribution resulted from the authors' desire to make the standard ...
Robert E. Park (while at the Software Engineering Institute) and others developed a framework for defining SLOC values, to enable people to carefully explain and define the SLOC measure used in a project. For example, most software systems reuse code, and determining which (if any) reused code to include is important when reporting a measure.
The E and SD values are then used to convert the project time estimates to confidence intervals as follows: The 68% confidence interval for the true project work time is approximately E(project) ± SD(project) The 90% confidence interval for the true project work time is approximately E(project) ± 1.645 × SD(project)
An example is detailed in the pictures to the right. The goal of the project was to determine (among other things) whether or not the predictor, number of years in the major leagues (baseball), had an effect on the response, salary, a player made. An initial scatter plot of the data indicates that there is heteroscedasticity in the data as the ...
