A project has the three paths. The paths and three estimated times (most likely, optimistic and pessimistic are as follows:
Expected time: to +4tm+ tp/6
Variance (tp - to)2/36
Path mean = sum of expected times on path
Path standard deviation = square root of path mean
Z = Specified time Path mean/ path standard deviation
Path XYZ
Optimistic (to) Most likely (tm) Pessimistic (tp) Expected time(te)
Activity X 134
Activity Y 246
Activity Z 235
Path QRS
Activity Q 345
Activity R 357
Activity S 579
Path TUV
Activity T 236
Activity U 468
Activity V 346
1. Determine the expected time for each activity X 2.83 Y 4.00 Z 3.17 Q 4.00 R 5.00 S 7.00 T 3.33 U 6.00 V4.17
2. What is the critical path (QRS)
3. What is the variance of each activity on the critical path (.944,1.00,1.139)
4. What is the path standard deviation (1.00)
5. What is the probability of completing the project (critical path) in 15 weeks, and 17 weeks (.1587,.8413)
