Two possible network diagrams are given below, labeled A and B.- **Network Diagram A**: - This diagram uses circles to represent different activities (A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H). - Arrows indicate the dependencies between activities. - Activities with multiple predecessors are shown as merging arrows bringing them to the necessary activity.- **Network Diagram B**: - This is another version using circles for activities and arrows for indicating dependencies. - Similar to Diagram A, it illustrates how each activity is contingent on the completion of its predecessors.By examining the network diagrams, you can determine the correct sequence and relationships of the activities as described. In summary, Diagram A appears to be the correct representation of the activities and their dependencies based on the provided precedence and activity times. Choose the correct network diagram based on the given precedence relationships and activity durations to accurately plan and streamline the billing process improvement project. ### Calculating Slack and Identifying Critical Path ActivitiesTo effectively manage a project, it's essential to understand each activity's duration and its slack time. Slack, or float, represents the amount of time an activity can be delayed without affecting the project's overall completion time. This is critical for identifying which activities are on the project's critical path – the sequence of stages determining the project's minimum completion time.Below is a table designed to analyze and identify the slack for each activity and determine which activities lie on the critical path. #### Project Activities Table| **Activity** | **Activity Time (weeks)** | **On critical path?** | **Slack (weeks)** ||--------------|---------------------------|------------------------|-------------------|| **A** | 3 | (1) | || **B** | 11 | (2) | || **C** | 7 | (3) | || **D** | 13 | (4) | || **E** | 10 | (5) | || **F** | 6 | (6) | || **G** | 5 | (7) | || **H** | 8 | (8) | |- **Activity Time (weeks):** This column records the duration required to complete each activity.- **On critical path?:** This column is used to check if a given activity is part of the critical path. The possible values are "Yes" or "No".- **Slack (weeks):** This column records the slack time for each activity, which indicates how long an activity can be delayed without delaying the overall project.Use the input fields below to fill in the "On critical path?" and "Slack (weeks)" values based on the project's data and calculations. It's crucial to determine these details for efficient project handling and to ensure that critical activities receive the necessary focus to keep the project on track.#### Understanding Graphs and Diagrams*There are no graphical representations or diagrams included in this table. If future analysis includes such diagrams (e.g., Gantt charts, network diagrams), a detailed explanation should be provided for proper interpretation.*For hands-on learning and practical application, ensure that you regularly update and monitor these columns throughout your project's lifecycle.
