Question

The platters, a rock-and-roll group that had many hits in the late 1950s, has undergone many personnel changes since that era. However, a group performing under that name is still touring the country giving concerts. The group would like to stop in Detroit, Michigan, on its current tour. An “oldies” radio station, WDMI, is in charge of making the arrangements.

 

The station has listed activities that must be completed prior to the concert in the table. Times are in weeks. Use PERT/CPM to find the critical path.
