CIMAPRO19-P03-1 Exam - Topic 4 Question 39 Discussion

Actual exam question for CIMA's CIMAPRO19-P03-1 exam

Question #: 39
Topic #: 4

An electricity company owns and operates a nuclear power station located ten miles from a large city. A recent and very extensive engineering examination of the power station concludes with the estimate that the probability of a major nuclear disaster within the next 20 years is 0.2%.

Which of the following best explains the relevance of quantifying the risk in that way?

AThere is no acceptable level of risk for a major nuclear accident and so the probability has little information value in itself.

BThe probability is so low as to be ignored.

CThe directors will be able to argue that they were not negligent in the event of a major disaster within the 20 year period.

DThe calculation of a precise probability demonstrates that the engineers who conducted the inspection are experts in their field.

But what if that 0.2% happens? That's a huge deal!

Totally agree with C! They’ll use that to cover themselves.

Really? 0.2% seems low, but can we trust those numbers?

I think A makes the most sense. No risk is acceptable here.

0.2% is still a risk, though!

I’m a bit confused about option D; just because they calculated a probability doesn’t necessarily mean they are experts, right?

I’m leaning towards option C because it seems like the company could use that probability to defend themselves if something goes wrong.

I think I saw a similar question about risk assessment in our practice exams, and I feel like the low probability might not be enough to dismiss concerns.

I remember discussing how some people argue that any risk of a nuclear disaster is unacceptable, so I'm not sure if the probability really matters.

This question seems straightforward. I think the key is to focus on the specific capabilities of Intrusion Prevention rules.

I'm a bit confused by this question. The options seem to cover a wide range of time frames. I'll have to do some quick research to figure out the typical detection time for Cisco customers.

I think listening deliberately might be one of the options, but I'm not completely sure which other one to pick.

I remember from the SIAM training that the business case is one of the first things you need to establish, so I think the correct answer is A - Discovery and Strategy. That makes the most sense to me.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. The question seems clear, but I want to make sure I understand all the options before selecting an answer. Let me re-read this a few times to make sure I don't miss anything.

Ooh, 0.2% probability? That's about the same chance of me acing this exam. Gotta love those engineers and their fancy math skills.

Experts, schmexperts. I'd feel a lot better if they could guarantee there's zero chance of a meltdown. Anything above 0% is too high for me.

I'm sorry, but 'not negligent' is not the same as 'safe.' The directors better have a really good evacuation plan ready to go, just in case.

Quantifying the risk is great and all, but I'm more concerned about what they plan to do to mitigate that 0.2% chance. Maybe they can give everyone in the city a radiation-proof suit just in case.

Wow, 0.2% probability of a major nuclear disaster? That's like winning the lottery, but in reverse. I guess the engineers are trying to lull us into a false sense of security.
