(c) Use the mean critical path to find the approximate probability that the advertising campaign will be ready to launch within 57 days. (d) Now consider the other path through the project network. Find the approximate probability that this path will be completed within 57 days. (e) Since these paths do not overlap, a better estimate of the probability that the project will finish within 57 days can be obtained as follows. The project will finish within 57 days if both paths are completed within 57 days. Therefore, the approximate probability that the project will finish within 57 days is the product of the probabilities found in parts (c) and (d). Perform this calculation. What does this answer say about the accuracy of the standard procedure used in part (c)?
