MBA 6300 online Homework Assignment - Project Management PERT Network Diagram 1 illustrates the ten interrelated activities that comprise a certain project. PERT Network Diagram 1 The information presented in Table 1 represents the optimistic activity time (a), most probable activity time (m), and pessimistic activity time (b) in weeks for each activity associated with the project.

Using the information provided in Table 1, calculate the expected activity time (t) in weeks for each activity and then enter this information in the appropriate data field provided for each activity in PERT Network Diagram 2 in order to complete this diagram. Use the Excel sheet provided by the Instructor. 2. Using the information provided in Table 1, calculate the variance for the estimated activity time for each activity. 3 - 14. Using the information in the completed PERT Network Diagram 2, calculate the overall estimated activity time in weeks for each possible of the 12 possible paths through the network. The following table may help you organize your data: (1 point each 12 points total) Question 3 Question 4 Question 5 Question 6 Question 7 Question 8 Question 9 Question 10 Question 11 Question 12 Question 13 Question 14 P1 = P2 = P3 = P4 = P5 = P6 = P7 = P8 = P9 = P10 = P11 = P12 = 15. Identify the Critical Path. (3 points) 16. Using the information provided in Table 1, and the critical path identified in the previous question, calculate the standard deviation for the project.
