    The document describes three project planning problems with activities, durations, and precedence relationships. For Problem 1, the critical path is A-B-E-G-I with a duration of 23 days. If activity F takes 4 days instead of 2, the new critical path is A-D-F-G-I with a duration of 23 days. For Problem 2, expected durations and variances are calculated for each activity. The critical path is A-B-F-G with an expected project duration of 27 weeks. The probability of completing in 34 weeks is calculated using the normal distribution. For Problem 3, the student is asked to draw a node diagram, calculate slack times, and identify
