Please let me know.


Thanks

 I am impressed by your performance.


only 2nd q ans will be A


see my topic Torch diagram , or refer pmbok


in this questionaries -- a question on R= p*i, (page 2 last question) is quite different but from PMBOK, how you did it , can you explain.


Could I know about you. your chances are very fair.


Thanks & regards

Thanks Sir.


On the p*i question, I answered based on -ve probability. Since probability cannot be negative, the risk derived from them was also incorrect. Not sure if If it was the right logic.


My exam is scheduled on October 26th. I have been studying for last 6 weeks from PMBOK & Rita. Have started giving Mock tests from last week with below results.


Oliver 175- 82%


PMP study 100 (free)- 81%


pmpforsure 100 (free) - 72%


Though I passed in pmpforsure, this was a low score. Can you please tell me if this is an acceptable score(72%). I keep hearing that one should consistently get 80+ to be confident.


Thanks 


 

Dear Rohit,


I am just studying like you but the difference is only that since a long back I am in touch of PMP and PMzilla both, and continuely interacting with all.You can say its my style of learning and make others to get learned, in some interesting manner.


I have my own constraints. But I have a very sound experience of PM, and sometimes it works reverse in test performance.


Your logic is perfect and I am sure your performance is as good as 4ps+1p.


For Pmpforsure , it is said above 70% is equivalent of 80% of PMstudy . before of 15th attend 4-5 simulations.


edwelprogram, simplilearn, skillsign, pmzilla, examcentral not bad and 2-3 paid, etctraetctra, will make u at 5p.


be confident and be realistic


wish u all success

or


er-sspawar.blogspot.in

I hope somebody will answer this question definitely.

Q


In quantitative risk analysis, different probability distribution methods are used, below figure is an examplw of:



  1. Normal Distribution Method

  2. Discrete Distribution Method

  3. Uniform Distribution

  4. Triangular Distribution





















































































































Y axis showing probablity                  
                 
50%                
               
40%            
           
30%          
           
20%          
         
10%        
  $10 $20 $30 $40
  X axis - showing cost            

Ans is 2., here all data could not be defined under any probablity curve, hence it is discrete data.

A project team of 20members including Project head, having mobile hand set each and in addition of handsets, 5 seniors have individual land line phones and remaining staff is using 2 land line phones commonly. How many potential communication channels you will consider.

A. (20X2 ) + (7X2)

B. (19x10) +(7x3)

C. (20+5+2) x13

D. (19x10)

 Nobody nowhere will find such critical unique question on communication channels.

Actually it is framed by me from, a real world scenario and PMBOK .

How you can corelate both practical and guide.

By this example, my aim is to make understanding what are channels.

what will be the answer.

Read PMBOk and select your choice,

prashant.spce's picture

Dear RPS,


I think,the answer is D.Method used to decode the message is called Medium.


 


Thanks and Regards


Prashant

Thanks Prashant definitely  answer is D as well as C also.


actually My aim was the C .


But by mistake option D has written wrongly:


D. Method used to decode the message is called Medium.


in place of decode , I had thought I had written convey


and if Write convey


option will be

D. Method used to convey the message is called Medium.


 


then only option C will be the answer.


thank you for making me right


Actually by this question my intension was that Message and feedback message both are output of sender. hence option C is not correctly worded, and it will be the appropriate answer.
