    Part 1, 2 and 3
    Activity    Optimistic Time (days)    Most Likely time (days)    Pessimistic Time (days)    Expected Time     Task Variance
    A    4    8    12    8    1.7777777778
    B    2    3    4    3    0.1111111111
    C    5    10    15    10    2.7777777778
    D    3    5    7    5    0.4444444444
    E    4    6    8    6    0.4444444444
    F    2    4    6    4    0.4444444444
    The network diagram would be
    The critical path of the project is A-C-D-E
    The Expected Time (Te) of the project is 29 days
    The critical path of the project contains all those tasks with Total Slack (TS) equal to zero (0).
    Part 4:
    To calculate probabilities, we use the Z-Score formula:
    σ = √1.7778 + 2.7778 + 0.4444 + 0.4444
    
σ = √5.4444
    
σ = 2.3333
    Thus,
    Z-Score = (32 - 29) / 2.3333
    Z-Score = 3 / 2.3333
    Z-Score = 1.2857 <> 1.29
    Hence, according to the Z-Score table, if the Z-Score is 1.29, the probability to complete the project within 32 days is 0.9015 <> 90.15%.

    According to the information in the exercise, the network diagram:
    The original duration of the project is 12 days. The critical path of the project contains all the tasks with slack equal to zero (0). The original critical path of the project is A-C.
    Smoothing implies distributing the resources throughout the duration of the project avoiding extending it as much as possible.
