Ross​ Hopkins, president of Hopkins​ Hospitality, has developed the​ tasks, durations, and predecessor relationships in the following table for building new motels

Activity    a    m    b    Immediate Predecessor(s)    Activity    a    m    b    Immediate Predecessor(s)
A    6    8    12    -    G    2    3    4    C, E
B    1    9    24    A    H    2    2    2    F
C    8    14    16    A    I    7    7    7    F
D    4    7    10    A    J    6    7    12    D, G, H
E    1    2    4    B    K    1    1    4    I, J
F    6    9    20    C, E                    ​

a) The expected​ (estimated) time for activity C is
13.33
weeks. ​(Round your response to two decimal​ places.)
 
​b) The variance for activity C is
1.78
weeks. ​(Round your response to two decimal​ places.)
 
c) Based on the calculation of the estimated​ times, the critical path is
A - C - F - H - J - K
 
​d) The estimated time for the critical path is
43.1643.16
weeks. ​(Round your response to two decimal​ places.)
 
​e) The activity variance along the critical path is
9.47
weeks. ​(Round your response to two decimal​ places.)

f) Using thestandard normal table, the probability that Hopkins Hospitality will finish the project in 40 weeks or less is
