 1. The PERT diagram and estimated time of the activities of a project are given below.
Estimated time and immediate predecessor(s) of the activities of a project
for The PERT problem are given below :

Activity a b m Predecessor(s)
A 2 4 3 -
B 3 7 5 -
C 6 22 14 A
D 4 6 5 A
E 4.5 7.5 3 B
F 4.5 9.5 7 B
G 5 15 7 D,E
H 2 8 5 F,G
Find:
(a)The probability to complete the project in 20 days.
(b)Project completion time with 80% probability. 2
(c)The probability to complete the activities A and D in 12 days.
Estimated time and immediate predecssor(s) of the activities of a project
for The PERT problem are given below :
