A typical serious candidate for services examination take no less than 25 minutes to answer a question and sometimes as much as 48 minutes, 35 minutes times are most frequent than any other time. If this performance were an activity in a PERT project, estimate (i) would be expected time to answer a question, (ii) its variance, (iii) the time to be allocated for answering a question in scheduling the project.
