[2 Marks] b) Using forwards and backwards passing on your network, identify the critical path and the slack for each of the non-critical components. [4 Marks] c) With the use of a table calculate the optimistic and pessimistic times for each task, and hence calculate the mean variance for each task. [5 Marks] d) Determine the project variance and hence calculate the probability of the project completing in 30 weeks and 22 weeks. Appropriate Z Tables are attached. [9 Marks]
