    1. Roy is doing his project in final year of his study. He must complete the project within nine months. He
    has identified several activities. He has also determined the time requirements (in terms of weeks) and
    the immediate predecessors of the activities are given in the table below.

    latest start time, earliest finish time, latest finish time and slack time for each activity.
    c. Calculate the variance in the expected completion time for the project.
    d. What is the probability that Roy’s project will be completed within nine months? (Assume that a
    month has four weeks)

    2. An architect is in the process of building a bungalow. Some of the information on the activities is shown

    3. Sunmatec Corporation has undertaken a project that involves twelve main activities. For easy reference,
    the activities are named A to L. The management team has identified the immediate predecessor
    activity/activities and the most likely time of completion for each activity. Besides the most likely time,
    the optimistic and pessimistic times for completion are also obtained for each activity. The information
    summary is given in the table below:

    relationships to each other. Because of the uncertainty in planning the new course, the assistant has also
    supplied the following time estimates for each activity.
