Q: 5
What is the probability of occurrence if the risk rating is 0.56 and the impact if the risk does occur is
very high (0.80)?

Nah, I don’t think it’s B. C is correct here, because B is just the risk rating, not the probability.
C . You have to divide the risk rating (0.56) by the impact (0.80), so 0.56 / 0.80 = 0.70. If you just picked the rating itself you'd be mixing up the formulas I think. Let me know if anyone sees it differently.
I saw a similar question on a practice exam, pretty sure it's B.
C tbh, unless "very high" maps to something other than 0.80 on their scale. Just following the numbers from the question here.
C not seeing how any other calculation makes sense with what they gave. If the impact was something else then maybe a different answer, but 0.56 / 0.80 gets you C. If I missed a project management nuance happy to review.
C , probability should be risk rating divided by impact so 0.56 / 0.80 = 0.70. Some folks mix up the rating and probability here, but C fits the formula. Let me know if I overlooked something.
B tbh
C imo, since risk rating = probability x impact, so to find probability it's 0.56 divided by 0.80 which gives 0.70. Pretty standard formula in the PMBOK if I recall right, but correct me if I'm off.
B makes sense to me because they give you the risk rating directly as 0.56, and if that's what you're supposed to find for probability, wouldn't it just be that value? Maybe I'm missing a calculation step, but the question's wording feels like a trick. Could be wrong though if division is required here. Others agree?
