as std deviaiton =(b-a)/6

hence

as acticvity on crtical path (with ) slack are =A ,C ,E ,H , I ,K M,N

thereofre project std deviation=sqrt(sum of variance of activiities on critical path)

=sqrt(11.194) =3.346

hence probability that the critical path will be finished in 55 days or less​ =P(X<55)

=P(Z<(55-50.83)/3.346)=P(Z<1.25)=0.8944
