The Centre for Information Technology at Provincial University has outgrown its office in Bates (B) Hall and is moving to Allen (A) Hall, which has more space. The move will take place during the three-week break between the end of summer semester and the beginning of fall semester. Movers will be hired from the university€™s physical plant to move the furniture, boxes of books, and files that the faculty will pack. The centre has hired a local retail computer firm to move its office computers so they will not be damaged. The following table provides a list of activities, their precedence relationships, and probabilistic time estimates for this project.

Determine the earliest and latest start and finish times, the critical path, and the expected project duration. What is the probability the centre will complete its move before the start of the fall semester?
