You are preparing to complete the quantitative risk analysis process with your project team and several subject matter experts. You gather the necessary inputs including the project's cost management plan. Why is it necessary to include the project's cost management plan in the preparation for the quantitative risk analysis process?

A. The project's cost management plan can help you to determine what the total cost of the project is allowed to be.

B. The project's cost management plan provides direction on how costs may be changed due to identified risks.

C. The project's cost management plan provides control that may help determine the structure for quantitative analysis of the budget.

D. The project's cost management plan is not an input to the quantitative risk analysis process.

You are the project manager of the AMD project for your organization. In this project, you are currently performing quantitative risk analysis. The tool and technique you are using is simulation where the project model is computed many times with the input values chosen at random for each iteration. The goal is to create a probability distribution from the iterations for the project schedule. What technique will you use with this simulation?

A. Pareto modeling

B. Expected Monetary Value

C. Analogous modeling

D. Monte Carlo Technique

A regional vendor for custom manufactured steel oil derricks is awarded a contract to design, manufacture, and install 40 offshore oil platforms. Installation of these derricks requires precision placement and stable seas for the transport and installation ships to properly install the deep water structure. It takes 65 days to transport the deep water structures for each platform from the manufacturing facility to the installation site at a cost of US$155,000 per day. The monsoon season runs from May to September each year and is a known risk for placement of the oil platforms. There is an incentive clause in the contract that will provide a USS1,500,000 payment, if all 40 platforms are in place and ready for use by 5 January 2016.

What is the probability of receiving this incentive?

A. 35.0%

B. 42.9%

C. 44.5%

D. 47.5%

You are the project manager for your organization. You have determined that an activity is too dangerous to complete internally so you hire licensed contractor to complete the work. The contractor, however, may not complete the assigned work on time which could cause delays in subsequent work beginning. This is an example of what type of risk event?

A. Internal

B. Secondary risk

C. Pure risk

D. Transference

A. Costs

B. Quality control concerns

C. Human resource needs

D. Risks
