    The document describes a project with 12 activities and provides the optimistic, most likely, and pessimistic time estimates for each. It then lists the following requirements: 1. Draw the network diagram showing the activities and time estimates. 2. Identify the critical path through the network. 3. Calculate the slack for each event and activity float values. 4. Determine the standard deviation of the critical path duration. 5. Calculate the probability of completing the project within 30 weeks.

    Requirements:

    a. Draw a network diagram


    b. Show critical path
    c. Find Slack
    d. Calculate standard deviation of Critical Path
    e. Calculate the probability of completing the project in 30 weeks

    Solution:

    a. Network Diagram
    Here, Optimistic time, a = to
    Pessimistic time, b = tp
    Most likely time, m = tm
    Expected time, te = [(a+4m+b)/6] = [(to+4tm+tp)/6]

    Time Duration (weeks)
