Estimate the cost of construction for this project
Estimate the cost of construction for this project
1. There are three (and only three) paths through a network (project), each with a probability of completion in less than 24 months as indicated:
a. S-a-b-F P1(<24) = .95
b. S- d-e-F P2(<24) = .85
c. S- g-h-F P3(<24) = .90
If the tasks are independent, what is the probability of the network being completed within 24 months? Note: S is the start node, F is the finish node
2. You have been assigned to estimate the cost of installing fiber optic cable in a country in the Middle East. Fortunately, you have done a number of similar projects in this area in the past and you have accumulated the following parametric cost estimates based on this experience:
Mobilization/demobilization Cost = $10,000
Buried cable construction:
Cost per kilometer = $10,000 Sand
Cost per kilometer = $17,500 Sand & Clay
Cost per 100 meters = $ 5,500 Rock
Overhead cable installation:
Cost per kilometer = $ 7,500
Cost per Road Crossing = $12,500
Cost per pipeline Crossing = $ 5,000
The scope of the new project is as follows:
Predominately sand 150 km
Predominately sand & clay 100 km
Rock 500 meters
overhead 2 km
road crossings 3
pipeline crossings 5
Estimate the cost of construction for this project. Assume the estimates are fully loaded, ie they include labor, materials, applicable indirect costs such as overhead, etc

The measurements and statistics used in quantitative research attempt to
quantify human behavior for the purposes of comparison. It can be said that
the reason we try to quantify human behavior is to better understand, and by
understanding the better we can help.
By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your
proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria:
• Competency 1: Describe types of psychological research methods.
o Describe why selected data analysis procedure(s) make sense with a
particular research methodology.
Competency 2: Evaluate research methods and psychological research findings.
o Select appropriate measures for each variable of a research study.
o Describe how identified methods will be used in a research study.
o Describe the data analysis process for a proposed research study.
Competency 4: Communicate effectively in a variety of formats.
o Communicate in a manner that is scholarly, professional, and
consistent with expectations for members of professional communities.
o Apply proper APA formatting and style.
Context
Quantitative research requires that we measure participants in some form. It
is an attempt to quantify human behavior for the purposes of comparison,
either among groups or before and after an intervention of some kind.
Measuring behaviors, thoughts, and emotions is difficult. Accuracy of
measurement requires a solid definition of what is being measured.

on to submit Assessment 4.
Access the Mental Measurements Yearbook in a research database, and review
types of measures and assessments that are available and relevant to your
research question.
Determine the types of measures and assessments that fit into your research
proposal and write about them in a short paper. Your assessment should include
the following:
0. A measure selected for each variable under investigation. Please
provide the name of the measure as well as the reliability and validity
information. If you are writing a proposal for qualitative work, then discuss
the constructs that will be assessed with the proposed measure
1. A discussion of how the measure will be used-for example, as an
assessment done once during the study.
2. A discussion of the statistics and data analysis that you will conduct
after collecting your data and the rationale for your selection. Be specific
about the kind of data analysis you plan to use. Be sure to note why these
data analysis procedures make sense with the research methodology you have
