Explanation of Solution
Schedule development tools and concepts:
Gantt Charts:
- A Gantt chart is a type of bar chart that is used for projects in which activities are plotted against the time schedule, from start date to end date of the given activity.
- Terminal elements as well as summary elements comprise the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) of the project.
- Some Gantt charts can be used to represent the dependency relationships between activities.
- Gantt charts can be used to show current schedule status using percent-complete shadings and a vertical "TODAY" line.
Critical Path Method (CPM):
- Critical path is referred to as the longest path through the activity network, which enables completion of all project-related activities.
- Based on the logic of workflow, there may be more than one Critical Path.
- CPM is used in project management for identifying the activities of bottleneck and allocating resources accordingly.
PERT:
- PERT stands for Program Evaluation and Review Technique.
- A PERT chart is referred to as a project management tool that is used to schedule, organize, and coordinate tasks within a project.
Both PERT and CPM method consist of two major components in its networks...

I need to know about the use and configuration of files and folders, and their attributes in Windows Server 2019.
Southern Airline has 15 daily flights from Miami to New York. Each flight requires two pilots. Flights that do not have two pilots are canceled (passengers are transferred to other airlines). The average profit per flight is $6000. Because pilots get sick from time to time, the airline is considering a policy of keeping four *reserve pilots on standby to replace sick pilots. Such pilots would introduce an additional cost of $1800 per reserve pilot (whether they fly or not).
The pilots on each flight are distinct and the likelihood of any pilot getting sick is independent of the likelihood of any other pilot getting sick. Southern believes that the probability of any given pilot getting sick is 0.15.
A) Run a simulation of this situation with at least 1000 iterations and report the following for the present policy (no reserve pilots) and the proposed policy (four reserve pilots):
The average daily utilization of the aircraft (percentage of total flights that fly)

- My daughter is a Girl Scout and it is time for our cookie sales. There are 15 neighbors nearby and she plans to visit every neighbor this evening. There is a 40% likelihood that someone will be home. If someone is home, there is an 85% likelihood that person will make a purchase. If a purchase is made, the revenue generated from the sale follows the Normal distribution with mean $18 and standard deviation $5. Using @RISK, simulate our door-to-door sales using at least 1000 iterations and report the expected revenue, the maximum revenue, and the average number of purchasers.
