PERT (Program Evaluation and Review Technique) is indeed a probabilistic technique because it accounts for uncertainty in project scheduling by using three time estimates (optimistic, most likely, and pessimistic) for each activity. On the other hand, CPM (Critical Path Method) is a deterministic approach as it uses a single, fixed time estimate for each activity, assuming that the duration is known with certainty.
