Use the failure probability and consequence scores shown in the table to determine the consequence of failure for the project. $$\begin{array} { | l | l | l | l | }
\hline \text { Maturity } & 0.6 & \text { Cost } & 0.2 \
\hline \text { Complexity } & 0.8 & \text { Bchedule } & 0.3 \
\hline \text { Dependency } & 0.6 & \text { Reliability } & 0.2 \
\hline & & \text { Performance } & 0.5 \
\hline
\end{array}$$
A)Greater than 0.7
B)Less than or equal to 0.7 but greater than 0.5
C)Less than or equal to 0.5 but greater than 0.3
D)Less than 0.2

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The consequence of failure is calculated by multiplying the failure probability by the consequence score for each factor and then summing the results. In this case, the consequence of failure is:(0.6 * 0.2) + (0.8 * 0.3) + (0.6 * 0.2) + (0.2 * 0.5) = 0.72Therefore, the consequence of failure is greater than 0.7.
