 Critical path duration= 4.2 + 3.2 + 2 + 3.2 + 5.2 + 8.3 + 4.2 + 4.3 + 6.3 + 5 = 45.9

 Variance of critical path= 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.11 + 0.25 + 0.69 + 1 + 0.25 + 1 + 1 + 1= 5.81
 Standard devision critical path = 5.81 = 2.41

 The z-score for x = 45 :

Z= (x-t) / 

Z=(45-45.9)/2.41

Z= - 0.37

 Probability correspond Z is 0.1443

P ( z ≤45) = 0.500 – 0.1443

P ( z ≤45) = 0.3557 or 35.57 %

 It appear that the Moores migth increase their bid to compensate for potential penalties
because 35.57% is not a very high probability that the contractor will complete a house
within 45 days.

2)

The project activities Moore House contractor should be particularly diligent to keep on
schedule are the activities on the critical path . and the activities which are not in the critical
path must pull the ressources with slack .some of the worker on the activities such as h, i , l
, n , o , r , s will be difficultly transferrable to work on the critical path activities .
