Answer: The probability that the project will be completed in 33 days or less is equal to 0.73 .
Step-by-step explanation:
We assume that this is a normally distribution.
Given : The critical path length is 30 days .
i.e. Population mean = [tex]\mu=30[/tex]
Variance : [tex]\sigma^2=25[/tex]
Then, standard deviation : [tex]\sigma=\sqrt{25}=5[/tex]
Z-score : [tex]z=\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
The value of z corresponding to 33 = [tex]z=\dfrac{33-30}{5}=0.6[/tex]
Now, the p-value = [tex]P(x\leq33)=P(z\leq0.6)=0.7257469\approx0.73[/tex]
Hence, the probability that the project will be completed in 33 days or less is equal to 0.73.
Answer:
0.73
Step-by-step explanation:
A Z-score is a statistical measurement that defines the relationship between a value and the mean of a group, given the standard deviations from the mean. If a Z score is 0, it implies that that the value being measured is identical to the mean score. A Z-score of 2.0 indicate that the value being measured is two standard deviation away from the group mean.
Standard deviation = √variance = √25
=5 days
Z value that corresponding to the possibility of completing the project in 33 days or less is
Z=(33-30)/5 = 3/5 = 0.6
probability that the project will be completed in 33 days or less = P(Z ≤ 0.6)
from Z table
P(Z ≤ 0.6) = 0.72575 ≈ 0.73 (2 decimal accuracy)
