If a project has an expected time of completion Te of 45 weeks with a standard deviation of 7 weeks, what is the probability of completing it (a) within one year (52 weeks)? (b) within 38 weeks. Please solve the problem using PERT , Optimistic time, most likely time, and pessimistic time. Using this formula : Te = (To + 4Tm + Tp) / 6
Homework Answers
Answer #1
a) Calculate the Z- Score using the following formula:
The Duration of the task in this case (X) =52.
The Mean Duration(
)
= 45
The Standard Deviation (
)
=7
b)
The Duration of the task in this case (X) =38.
The Mean Duration()
= 45
The Standard Deviation ()
=7
