    1. Financing risk – Probability that the taxpayers’ investment in the network (e.g. CRTC deferral account) will not provide the benefits expected. Analysis: In my view, the likelihood of this risk to occur was medium to high given that one of the Nortel’s top executive had failed ten years earlier implementing a similar initiative. In addition, risk # 5 increases the probability of this scenario to occur. Likewise, the impact on the authority agency (CRTC) and the project itself would be high,…

(5 points) A system was set up in parallel with two components, A and B. The probability of failure for A is .20 and for B is .10. In order for the system to fail, both must fail. What is the probability of a system failure? = 0.20*0.10 = 0.02 or 2% 8. (5 points) A system was set up in…

    resulting chart. Variables in this case include; existing production, limited production, cost of goods sold for full production, unit sales for new/old cleats, sales price, discount rate, probability of failure and success. A seventy-five percent probability of success is what the base case assumes; therefore probability of failure is twenty five percent. Fifteen percent is the discount rate. Since this is the base case, there’s not an increase in unit sales or sales price. Also, cost of goods…

    for the PM and project team to put identified risks in orders. This step gives risks the priority for further analysis by combining and calculating the probability and impact of identified risks (PMI, 2013, p. 328). From the research material, qualitative analysis is described as “…typically involve identifying the risks, assessing their probabilities and impacts, ranking them and screening out minor risks (Emblemsva˚g and Kjølstad, 2002, as cited in Emblemsva˚g & Kjølstad, 2005).” Based on the…

    votes represented by the equation Sn = ∑ni=1 xi is positive or negative. The theorem then states, “If the individual votes (xi, i=1,...,n) are independent of one another, and each voter makes the correct decision with probability p > ½, then as n [approaches infinity], the probability of the group coming to a correct decision by majority vote tends to 1” [7, p. 1]. This suggests that with a greater population voting, there is a higher likelihood of the correct choice being made in an…
