$($b$)$ Calculate the ES$,$ EF$,$ LS$,$ LF$,$ and Slack for each activity.

$($c$)$ What is project completion time?

QUESTION $2$

A partially solved PERT problem is detailed in the table below. Times are given in weeks.

$\backslash$table$[[$Activity$,$Preceding,$\backslash$table$[[$Optimistic$],[$Time$]],\backslash$table$[[$Probable$],[$Time$]],\backslash$table$[[$Pessimistic$],[$Time$]],\backslash$table$[[$Expected$],[$Time$]],$Variance$],[A,-,7,10,19,,],[$B$,$A$,2,2,8,,],[C,$A$,8,12,16,,],[$D$,$A$,3,5,10,,],[E,$B$,4,6,8,,],[F,$B$,6,8,10,,],[G,C,F,2,3,4,,],[H,$D$,2,2,8,,],[$I$,H,6,8,16,,],[J,G,$I,$4,6,14,,],[K,E,J,2,5,8,,]]$
