Answer:

Expected
Expected Variance,
Optimistic Pessimistic time=
Activity completion (sigma)^2=
time-a time-b (a+4*m+
time-m (b-a/6)^2
b)/6
A 7 10 13 10.00 1.00
B 4 8 9 7.50 0.69
C 3 7 12 7.17 2.25
D 5 9 12 8.83 1.36

Paths

Paths Duration Variance


ACDE 37.17 5.97
ACE 28.33
BCDE 34.67
BCE 25.83
The longest path is the critical path

a. Project length= 37.17

b. Critical path activities are A-C-D-E

c.

variance along the critical


path 5.97
standard deviation=
sqrt(variance)=   2.44
d. Slack in activity B will be equal to the difference
in activity times of A and B= 2.5
weeks (because the
activity after B is the critical path activity)
