Question: Linda is a experienced project manager that makes her aware of risks. She is preparing a project with a projected project duration of 4 5

Linda is a experienced project manager that makes her aware of risks. She is preparing a project with a projected project duration of 45 weeks.
Now Linda does a three point estimate on the critical path (CP) and calculates the Te and the variance. The Te is 47 weeks and the variance of the critical activities is 17,8. Linda now calculates the probabilities of meeting the recommended project duration and discovers that the probability (p) of finishing the project on schedule is =0,31(31%).
The risk strategy Linda follows stipulates that a project should have a minimum 65% probability of finishing on schedule. Linda therefore goes to the project owner and reccomends to him to change the scheduled duration (Ts) to what number of weeks as minimum? The numbers are rounded up.
