(Round your answers to two decimal places.) Activity Expected Times A B C D E F Variance (b) An analyst determined that the critical path consists of activities B-D-F. Compute the expected project completion time and the variance of this path. (Round your answers to two decimal places.) expected project completion time variance of projection completion time
To manage the production of an animated movie, Pixar Animation Studios has listed the major activities involved, the predecessor relationships, and activity times (in months). The project is completed when activities F and G are both complete. Activity Immediate Predecessor G A B CD E A A C, B C, B D, E Time 4 6 2 6 3 3 5 (a) Find the critical path. (Enter your answers as a comma-separated list.) (b) The project must be completed in 1.5 years. Do you anticipate difficulty in meeting the deadline? Explain. The critical path activities require months to complete. Thus the project ---Select--- be completed in 1.5 years.
To help with preparations, a couple has devised a project network to describe the activities that must be completed by their wedding date. In addition, they have estimated the time of each activity (in weeks). Start D F B E G Activity A B C DEFGH Time 5 3 6 6 6 3 11 10 (a) Identify the critical path.
