Program Plan Intro

Single Loss Expectancy:

  • The expected monetary loss every time a risk occurs is called the Single Loss Expectancy.
  • The Single Loss Expectancy (SLE), Exposure Factor (EF) and Asset Value (AV) are related by the formula:
    • SLE = EF * AV
  • Introducing this conceptual breakdown of Single Loss Expectancy into Exposure Factor and Asset Value allows us to adjust the two terms independently and is related to risk management and risk assessment.
  • Asset Value may vary with market changes, inflation while Exposure Factor can be reduced by enabling preventive measures.

Annualized Loss Expectancy:

  • The product of the Single Loss Expectancy (SLE) and the Annual Rate of Occurrence (ARO) give Annualized Loss Expectancy (ALE).
  • It is mathematically expressed as:
    • ALE = SLE * ARO
  • The important feature of Annualized Loss Expectancy is that it can be used directly in a cost- benefit analysis.

One hundred students were asked whether they had taken courses in any of the three subjects, Mathematics, Computer Science and Information Technology. The results were given below. 45 had taken Mathematics; 18 had taken Mathematics and Computer Science; 38 had taken Computer Science; 21 had taken Information Technology; 9 had taken Mathematics and Information Technology.; 4 had taken Computer Science and Information Technology and 23 had taken no courses in any of the subjects. Draw a Venn diagram that will show the results of the survey.
Three of the mentors started writing notes for the CS Subjects and before they started they had set a target to finish the work on a certain date. But due to some important work these mentors had to take leave, which resulted in the delay of 3 days from the target date to be finished. Mentor A took 2 days more leave than that of Mentor C and Mentor B took 4 days more leave than that of Mentor C. What is the total number of days for which Mentor C was on leave?
1) Holiday Inn hires you to examine three hotel locations that can each use some updating. They have $4 million available for the updates. The future revenue projected for each hotel is tied to how much renovation is done, according to the following table: Renovation Amount Future Revenue (in millions) (in millions) $0 $1 $2 $3 Hotel A Hotel B Hotel C $4 $7 $8 $9 $3 $6 $10 $12 $14 $3 $7 $8 $13 $4 $11 $15 Use dynamic programming to determine how to best allocate the $4 million in renovations between the three hotels (assume you can only use $1 million increments).
