I encountered a following question:

you have a 50 % chance to make a 100 000 $ and a 65 % to lose 90 000 what is the outcome?

How to calculate these types of tasks?

Thank you, Takahashi

EVM

This is a basic earned value question:

Earned value= P X I (Probality X Impact)

In this case: 50 % chance to make a 100 000 - 65 % to lose 90 000

0.5 X 100000 - 0.65 X 90000

= 50000 - 58500 = -8500

Thank you very much, that

You can apply earned value

You can apply earned value formula

EV=Chances * Impact value

Positive Impact=50% * 100000=50000

Negative impact= 65% *90000=(-58500)

Overall impact =50000 +(-58500)=(-5850)

People - This is not EVM

People - This is not EVM rather EMV.

EMV (Estimated monetary value) = Probability x Impact

I meant Earned Value

I meant Earned Value Management :)

Yes, EMV is part of EVM and

Yes, EMV is part of EVM and the question asked is in direct reference to EMV. An examination question wouldn't ask you to calculate the Earned Value Management but would rather (in these regards) ask you to calculate the Estimated Monetary Value.

EMV belongs to EVM and is the overall method. I'm sure or hope you know that.

I am not here to exploit your weaknesses as I could care less but if you think you such huge smart ass, refer to page/s 387/513 on Rita M. (6th Ed) and page 298 of the PMBOK. Perhaps then, you could get something through your thick skull....

Also, after clarifying for myself - EMV (Expected Monetary Value) fals under the Risk Knowledge Area.

Is an EMV Expected Monetary Value analysis, so RP is right, but remember, you can apply PMI CoE in your personal life, so do not forget that:

CHAPTER 3. RESPECT (PMI CoE)

3.1 Description of Respect

Respect is our duty to show a high regard for ourselves, others, and the resources entrusted to us...

An environment of respect engenders trust, confidence, and performance excellence by fostering mutual cooperation — an environment where diverse perspectives and views are encouraged and valued...

We conduct ourselves in a professional manner, even when it is not reciprocated.
