Activity | Optimistic | Most Probable | Pessimistic |
A | 4 | 6 | 8 |
B | 2.5 | 4.5 | 5.5 |
C | 5 | 6.5 | 8 |
D | 4 | 5.5 | 8 |
E | 6.5 | 7.5 | 9 |

G | 7 | 9 | 12 |
H | 5 | 6 | 13 |
What is the probability that the project will be completed. If required, round your answers to four decimal places.
Since Immediate Predecessors are not mentioned, I have assumed that other activity will get start once earlier one will be finished i.e; as per below path -
A-B-C-D-E-F-G-H
Below is the screenshot of the formula -
Below is the screenshot of the result -

19. The product development group at Landon Corporation has been working on a new computer software product that has the potential to capture a large market share. Through outside sources, Landon's management leamed that a competitor is working to introduce a similar product. As a result, Landon's top management increased its pressure on the product development group. The group's leader turned to PERT/CPM as an aid to scheduling the activities remaining before the new product can be brought to the...
