Explain the concept of process scheduling.

• Process scheduling is the method used to manage the storage of files on a computer.

• Process scheduling is the process of organizing tasks in a to-do list.

• Process scheduling refers to the process of designing a new software application.

• Process scheduling is the method used by operating systems to manage the execution of multiple processes on a single processor.

What are the different states a process can be in?

• on hold, in progress, finished, halted

• starting, stopping, pausing, finishing

• ready, running, waiting, terminated

• sleeping, active, paused, completed

What is interprocess communication and why is it important in CPU scheduling?

• Interprocess communication is used to increase the speed of CPU scheduling

• Interprocess communication is only used for error handling in CPU scheduling

• Interprocess communication allows processes to coordinate and synchronize their activities.

• Interprocess communication is not important in CPU scheduling
