Question: ( 4 points ) The precedence diagram network for a project is shown below, along with the optimistic ( T o ) , most likely

(4 points) The precedence diagram network for a project is shown below, along with the optimistic (To), most likely (Tm), and pessimistic (Tp) durations for each activity. Use the PERT process to determine the probability (in percent) of completing the project in 50 days or less.
o,Tm,Tp
(4 points) After construction of the formwork for 30 precast concrete girders started, the durations to construct the formwork for the first two girders on the project were as follows:
Girder 1: 7.5 hours
Girder 2: 6.3 hours
Using an improvement rate based on individual units, answer the following questions:
a. What is the rate of improvement ()?
b. How long (in hours) will it take construct the formwork for the 30th girder? (T30)
c. In an attempt to accelerate the schedule, the contractor plans to ask the formwork crew to work 11 hours per day for 5.5 days a week. What will be the time required (hours) to construct the formwork for the 30th girder with the impact of overtime included?
6.(3 points) Based on data from prior projects, the cumulative average time to design the formwork for 10 precast concrete girders is 3.75 hours per girder with an engineer's rate of learning () of 0.875 when designing formwork. Assume no impacts of working overtime.
a. What will be the average time per girder that is required to design the formwork for all 28 girders? (A28)
b. What will be the total time required to design the formwork for all 28 girders? (T1-28)
( 4 points ) The precedence diagram network for a
