Expected Time and Variances Summary

B 15 1.78
C 17 1.78
D 16.5 1.36
E 17 5.44
F 16.5 1.78
G 17 2.78

c. Find the critical path and determine the expected length of the critical path?

Based on the obtained illustration above, the critical path is: A-C-D-F-G
And the expected length of time is 67.5 Weeks.
∵ A+C+D+F+G = 10+17+16.5+13+11 = 67.5 weeks
d. Assuming normality and path independence, what is the probability of meeting the 72-week
Deadline?

First,
2 2 2 2 2 2
σ =σ A + σ C +σ D +σ F + σ G

¿ 2.78+1.78+1.36+ 1.78+ 2.78 = 10.48

Then,
σ =√ 10.48=3.24

And last,
T −E ( t ) 72−67.5
z= = =1.39
σ 3.24

Answer:
Using z = 1.39 and the table for the normal distribution, the probability of the project
meeting the 72-week deadline is 91.77%.
since 0.5000 + 0.4177 = 0.9177 and that 0.9177 x 100 = 91.77.
