The critical path is AEFHJ, the expected project duration is 36.33 days, and the
sum of the variances of the critical path activities is
(0.44 + 0.44 + 0.11 + 1.00 + 0.44) = 2.43
b. z =

The probability that the project will take more than 38 days is
1 0.8577 or 0.1423
c. The path AEGHJ has a duration of 33.33 weeks with variance of 2.76.

38 33.33
= 2.81
2.76
The probability that the path AEGHJ exceeds 38 weeks is 1 0.9975, or 0.0025.
