Question: Problem 9-12 (Algorithmic) Assume that the activity time estimates (in days) for the swimming pool construction project are as follows: Activity Optimistic Most Probable Pessimistic

  1. Problem 9-12 (Algorithmic)

    Assume that the activity time estimates (in days) for the swimming pool construction project are as follows:

    Activity Optimistic Most Probable Pessimistic
    A 5 6 7
    B 4 8 15
    C 3 4 8
    D 2 2 2
    E 1 5 9
    F 2 5 8
    G 2 6 17
    H 3 7 8
    I 1 8 9

    1. What are the critical activities? If necessary, round your answers to two decimal places. If your answer is zero, enter 0.

      Critical Path:
      • A-C-F-H-I
      • A-D-H-I
      • A-D-G-I
      • B-C-F-H-I
      • B-D-H-I
      • B-D-G-I
      • B-E-I
    2. What is the expected time to complete the project? If necessary, round your answer to two decimal places. E(T) = days
    3. Based only on critical path, what is the estimated probability that the project can be completed in 25 or fewer days? Variance = . If necessary, round your answers to two decimal places. Using the normal distribution, z = . If necessary, round your answers to two decimal places. If negative answer is required, enter the minus sign before the number. Probability of 25 days or less is . If necessary, round your answers to four decimal places. Note: Use Appendix B to identify the probability.
