(b)
Activities A, D, H, I, J, K form the critical path
(c) Estimated time of the critical path is: 40.5 week
(d) Project variance = sum of variances of activities that form the critical path
= 4+1.36+1+2.78+2.78+1
= 12.92
Project standard deviation = square root of variance
= sqrt(12.92)
= 3.59 weeks
(e)
For target week 42,
z value = (42 - estimated time of critical path) / Standard deviation
= (42 - 40.5)/3.59
= 0.4178
P(z<0.4178) = NORMSDIST(0.4178)
= 0.662
or 66.2 %
Probability of completion of the project before week 42 = 66.2 %

Consider the project network information in Table 1 of Case Study A on Page 3 below. Assuming the project starts at time zero and all activity connections are finish-to-start, draw an Activity on the Node (AON) network diagram of the project, determine the expected project completion time, state the critical activities and critical path(s). Crash the project by 1 week and state the total crash cost. (b) (18 narl Case Study A Table 1 below contains activities associated with a...
