Given the following network and activity time estimates, determine: The expected time and variance for each activity Complete the chart showing bout the EF and LF

Your hospital has applied for certification as a level 1 stroke center. It is critical that the following project is completed in 18 weeks, before the next Joint Commission survey. Project activity times are listed in the table attached as an image.  Determine the minimum cost-schedule for this project to be completed in 18 weeks. Assume a linear relationship between crash cost and crash time. For example, crash cost per week for activity A can be calculated as: ($650 - $200)/(4-2) =  $225. 2. What is the difference in total project costs between the earliest completion time of the project using normal times and the minimum cost-schedule you found in part 1?
