find:
-The critical path.
-How long it will take to complete the project?
-How does simulation determine the probabilities of various
project completion times?
-What is "slack" and why is it important?
-Why is activity-on-arrow (AOA) or activity-on-node (AON) of
significant value to the project manager?
