A project’s critical path is composed of activities A (variance .33), B (variance .67), C (variance .33), and D (variance .17). What is the standard deviation on the critical path?

Answer:

The standard deviation on the critical path = 0.834

Step-by-step explanation:

Variance of activity A ([tex]V_{1}[/tex]) = 0.33

Variance of activity B ([tex]V_{2}[/tex]) = 0.67

Variance of activity C ([tex]V_{3}[/tex]) = 0.33

Variance of activity D ([tex]V_{4}[/tex]) = 0.17

Thus the standard deviation on the critical path ([tex]\alpha ^{2}[/tex]) = [tex]V_{1} ^{2}[/tex] + [tex]V^2_{2}[/tex] +  [tex]V^2_{3}[/tex] + [tex]V^2_{4}[/tex]

                                                                             [tex]\alpha ^{2}[/tex]  = [tex]0.33^{2}[/tex] + [tex]0.67^{2}[/tex] + [tex]0.33^{2}[/tex] + [tex]0.17^{2}[/tex]

                                                                             [tex]\alpha ^{2}[/tex] = 0.6956

                                                                             [tex]\alpha[/tex] = 0.834

The standard deviation on the critical path = 0.834
