Transcribed Image Text:A project has three activities A, B, and C that must be carried out sequentially; in order of A, then B, then C. The probability distributions
of the times required to complete each of the activities A. B, and C are uniformly distributed in intervals (1.7), (2,3) and [3,5) respectively.
Run 1000 simulation trials in Excel.
The "total project completion time" is a(n).
O Output of the simulation
O Input of the simulation
Decision variable in the simulation
O A fixed value in the simulation
Question 9

O 189
O 147
O 211
O 235
O 163
