McGee Carpet and Trim is a business that installs carpet into commercial businesses. Several of their recent jobs have taken longer than expected and Andrea McGee is concerned with her unreliable employees. Andrea would like to find out if her employees are working hard or not.

The Expected activity duration (tE) equals the Optimistic activity duration (tO) plus four times the Most likely activity duration (tM) plus the Pessimistic activity duration (tP) divided by six (A Guide, 2008).

Project Management is applying the tools, knowledge, skills, and techniques to project activities to meet the
