In PERT, we assume that
A)the times to complete individual activities are known with certainty.

C)the total cost of a project is independent of the time to complete the project.
D)the total time to complete all activities on the critical path is described by a normal distribution.

In PERT (Program Evaluation and Review Technique), the total time to complete all activities on the critical path is indeed described by a normal distribution. This is because PERT involves estimating the shortest possible time, the longest possible time, and the most probable time for each activity, and then using these estimates to calculate a mean time and standard deviation for the project completion time. The assumption of a normal distribution allows for the calculation of probabilities related to project completion times.
