Lily believed that a prospective insured's building might be considered a highly protected risk. Which one of the following buildings is most likely to be considered a highly protected risk?
A small building located in the middle of a very rural area
A masonry noncombustible industrial complex that relies on its own water supply
An office building without any public fire protection
A large fire-resistive building with automatic sprinkler systems
The International Organization for Standardization is the first globally recognized standard related to risk management:
a) True
b) False
a bread manufacturer relies on maintenance employees to keep its rather quite old production equipment for their operation. Whenever the equipment breaks down, the maintenance team is able to repair the equipment quickly. However, they are less effective at avoiding these breakdowns and cannot predict when the equipment will break down. The maintenance group has modified the equipment over the years and, in any event, the manufacturer of the equipment is no longer in business. The maintenance employees teach each other how to repair the equipment, but have refused to document any of this information (saying that it is too difficult to document these details). The company owner has thought about firing the maintenance staff unless they document the maintenance procedures, but realizes that there is no one else who can repair the equipment. Discuss or explain the sources or types of power and contingencies (moderator) of power among the maintenance employees in this situation.

- 7. Assume that there is a 9% rate of disk drive failure in a year. a. If all your computer data is stored on a hard disk drive with a copy stored on a second hard disk drive, what is the probability that during a year, you can avoid catastrophe with at least one working drive? b. If copies of all your computer data are stored on three independent hard disk drives, what is the probability that during a year, you can avoid catastrophe with at least one working drive? a. With two hard disk drives, the probability that catastrophe can be avoided is nothing.

- Consider an assembly line with 20 stations. Each station has a 0.5% probability of making a defect. At the end of the line, an inspection step singles out the defective units. The inspection step catches 80% of all defects. From inspection, units that are deemed to be non-defective are moved to the shipping department. If a defect is found at inspection, it is sent to the rework department. Rework fixes about 95% of the defective units. Units are directly shipped from the rework department with no further inspection taking place. What is the probability that a defective unit is shipped (in decimal form)?arrow_forwardIf a database is not maintained or if incorrect data is entered into the database, serious problems can occur.

- The warehouse management system (WMS) of RoyaTech's Delaware Valley warehouse tracks service level at the warehouse. A service level failure at the warehouse is an event where a customer's order could not be shipped out in full by the promised shipping time. RoyalTech's ordering system prevents customers from placing orders on products that are not in-stock at the warehouse. Therefore, we can make the statement that "the WMS is guaranteed to show 100% service level at the warehouse." Choose the most appropriate statement in response: O True, because orders will be placed only for products that are available. O False, because service level can never be 100%. O False, because resource constraint or human error may delay the shipping even though inventory is available in the system. O False, because WMS calculations are faulty.arrow_forwardThe risks that the consequences of them are acceptable and no extra costs should be incurred to reduce hazard probability are categorized as: Select one: a.

- True or false; explain your answer. For the past year, the average repair frequency for motorcycles (originally purchased in year 2021) that are owned by their original buyers are about the same as the average repair frequency for motorcycles (originally purchased in year 2021) that are owned by people who are the second owners of the motorcycles. This fact is evidence suggesting a market for lemons.arrow_forwardThe guidance system of a ship is controlled by a computer that has three major modules. In order for the computer to function properly, all three modules must function. The modules have reliabilities of 97%, 95%, and 99%. What is the reliability of the computer? A backup computer identical to the one being used will be installed to improve overall reliability. Assuming the new computer automatically functions if the main one fails, determine the resulting reliability. If the backup computer must be activated by a switch in the event that the first computer fails, and the switch has a reliability of 98%, what is the overall reliability of the system? Both the switch and the backup computer must function in order for the backup to take over.arrow_forwardA department store sells a television set that was a one-year warranty (quality-assurance) that covers any product defects. When customers purchase a TV set, they also have the option to purchase an extended three-year warranty that covers any breakage or maintenance. The extended warranty sells for the same amount regardless of whether it is purchased at the same time as the TV set or at some other time.
