a) Find the critical path. b) How much slack time, if any, is there for activity C? c) Determine the expected project completion time and the variance. d) Find the probability that the project will be completed in 30 days or less.
Remember, the expected time formula is t = (a+4m+b)/6 where a is optimistic, m is most probable, and b is pessimistic estimate. The variance formula is: 2 = [(b - a)/6]2

4 a) Critical path: A-D-F-G b) Slack for activity C = LF - EF = 15.5 - 14.0 = 1.5 days c) Expected completion time = 29.5 days variance = .11 + 1.00 + .25 + 1.00 = 2.36 ( 2.36 = 1.54) d) z = (30 - 29.5)/1.54 = (0.5)/1.54 = .32 Probability = .6255
a. Show the PERT/CPM network for this project. b. What are the critical path activities and expected project completion time? c. Prepare the activity schedule for this project. d. If the analyst wants a 0.99 probability of completing the project on time, how far ahead of the scheduled meeting date should she begin working on the project?

Critical path activities A-B-G-H-I Expected completion time = (2+3+4+4+2) = 15 weeks. Example: tA = [1.5+4(2)+2.5]/6 = 12/6 = 2 The variance formula: 2 = [(b - a)/6]2
