Question 4

The score for a risk of Probability 6 and Severity 2 is 12.

The score for a risk assessment is calculated by multiplying the Probability by the Severity. In this case, with a Probability of 6 and a Severity of 2, the calculation yields a score of 12.

A) 8

This option is incorrect because it does not reflect the multiplication of Probability 6 and Severity 2. The correct calculation, which is 6 multiplied by 2, results in 12, not 8.

B) 4

Option B is also incorrect. To arrive at a score of 4, one would need a Probability and Severity combination that is not present here. The multiplication of 6 and 2 does not yield 4.

C) 12

This option is correct as it accurately represents the score calculated by multiplying the Probability of 6 by the Severity of 2. The mathematical expression is straightforward: 6 * 2 = 12.

D) 3

This choice is incorrect as well. A score of 3 cannot be achieved with the given Probability of 6 and Severity of 2. The formula used does not support this outcome.

Conclusion

The correct answer is 12, as it is derived from the proper multiplication of Probability and Severity. All other options fail to represent the correct mathematical relationship required to determine the risk score, confirming that 12 is the only valid result based on the provided values.
