in nature and is dependent on the number of players, the more the players, the risker the lottery hence the lower the chances of winning. Consider a lottery where in one case the participants are One hundred and in the other are a thousand; the probabilities would be a hundredth and a thousandth respectively meaning the chances of winning the earlier case is higher than the later. Playing a lottery would be a good investment idea whose favorable success implies a sudden glory to wealth acquisition

net/fr/pdf/Preparing_the_future.pdf [3] Some define this probability as the value of this ratio as n tends to infinity [4] Of course, you may be surprised to learn that this is the wrong answer as the coin could land on its edge if left to land on a hard surface. If you Google ‘coin landing on its edge’ you will find that the chance of this happening is thought to be about 1 in 6000 (but we don’t really know!): so the true probabilities of ‘head’ and ‘tail’ are around 0.4999166 and of‘ edge’ around

Nonetheless the project team did not develop any qualitative or quantitative risk assessment. Knowing this I would best advice the CIO and his team to either develop a probability and impact of FMEA because this will be helpful for the project team and will make their work easier and more accurate. If they develop the probability and impact risk matrix then they will be able to identify which risk are likely to occur and would bring major problems to the project and then they can be able to plan

environment, social, financial, reputation and asset losses—the probability of an occurrence during the execution of a Shutdown or Turnaround is much greater. The very nature of executing complex and risky projects every few years, under pressure to keep costs low and outage durations short, increases the potential for something to go wrong. This paper explores the top five risks encountered in a Shutdown or Turnaround and their probability and consequence, along with suggestions to minimize their impact

Estimates of the probabilities associated with an unseasonably cold September (I1) are P(I1|s1) = .30, P(I1|s2)= .20, P(I1|s3) = .05. If Martin observes an unseasonably cold

information from being leaked. These are also known as vulnerabilities that would cause the customer information to be stolen or leaked. The company must weigh these risks and vulnerabilities on a high probability and high risk method. The risk of the information being stolen is really high but the probability is relatively medium so there is pretty

1. Explain the three different approaches to probability theory in decision making and give an example for each theory (6 marks) The 3 different approaches to probability theory are intuition-based probability or A Priori, relative frequency-based probability or empirical probability and subjective probability. In intuition based probability, depends on past experience or opinion of person. An example is if arrival of cake ingredients would be delayed by 3 hours then the baker

investment alternatives. Payoffs are in thousands of dollars. a) Using the expected value approach, which decision is preferred? b) For the lottery having a payoff of $100,000 with probability p and $0 with probability (1 - p), two decision makers expressed the following indifference probabilities. Find the most preferred decision for each decision maker using the expected utility approach. c) Why don’t decision makers A and B select the same decision alternative? Difference
