A.

Summary Introduction

Interpretation: The network diagram representing the activities of the project is to be drawn and the critical path based on the most likely times is to be determined.

Concept Introduction: Program Evaluation and review technique is a planning and control tool, wherein the work flow of various activities of a project are graphically represented and analyzed. This technique is distinct in the way that it deals with uncertainty in the activity completion times.

B.

Summary Introduction

Interpretation: Theprobability that the project will be completed before 28 weeks and before 32 weeks is to be computed.

C.

Summary Introduction

Interpretation: The number of weeks within which the project is to be completed given the completion probability of 0.95 is to be computed.

Consider the following PERT time estimates: a. Draw a network for this project and determine the critical path based on the most likely times by inspection.b. Assuming that the critical path is the one you identified in part (a), what is the probability that the project will be completed before 28weeks? Before 32 weeks?c. Assuming that the critical path is the one you identified in part (a), how many weeks are required to complete the project with probability .95?
Given the following network and activity time estimates, determine: The expected time and variance for each activity The critical path. This must be based on your calculations of the start and finish times and not by inspection. The expected project completion time, variance and standard deviation The probability that the project will be completed in 20 weeks or less
