Questions 1:

An analyst develops a set of criteria for evaluating distressed credits.

Companies that do not receive a passing score are classed as likely to go bankrupt within the next year. The analyst concludes the following:

● Forty percent of the companies tested will go bankrupt within a year: P(nonsurvivor) = 0.40.

● Fifty-five percent of companies tested will pass: P(pass test) = 0.55.

● There is an eighty-five percent probability that a company will pass the test given that it survives a year: P(pass test | survivor) = 0.85.

Using the total probability rule, the probability that a company passed the test given that it goes bankrupt can be determined. The P(pass test | non-survivor) is closest to:

A、 0.22.

B 、0.35.

C、 0.10.

Questions 2:

The sampling error is best described as the:

A 、sample standard deviation divided by the square root of the sample size.

B 、difference between the observed value of a statistic and the quantity it is intended to estimate.

C 、sum of squared deviations from the mean divided by the sample size minus one.

【Answer to question 1】C

【analysis】

C is correct. The total probability rule explains the unconditional probability of an event in terms of probabilities conditional on mutually exclusive and exhaustive scenarios, where:

quantity exercise:The sampling error

A is incorrect because the total probability rule is a weighted average probability of all possible scenarios. This answer incorrectly applies the multiplication rule, which holds that the joint probability of two independent (not conditional) events equals the product of the two individual probabilities for non-survivors and passing the test: (0.40) (0.55) = 0.22, which does not account for all mutually exclusive and exhaustive scenarios as required by the total probability rule.

B is incorrect because 0.35 is the result if the probability of P(non-survivor) = 0.60. The question states that the probability of P(non-survivor) is 0.40, not 0.60. It is calculated as [0.55 – 0.85(0.40)]/0.60 = 0.35.

【Answer to question 2】B

【analysis】

B is correct. The sampling error is the difference between the observed value of a statistic and the quantity it is intended to estimate.

A is incorrect. The sample standard deviation divided by the square root of the sample size is the standard error of the sample mean.

C is incorrect. The sum of squared deviations from the mean divided by the sample size minus one is the sample variance.

成功=時(shí)間+方法，自制力是這個(gè)等式的保障。世上無天才，高手都是來自刻苦的練習(xí)。而人們經(jīng)常只看到“牛人”閃耀的成績，其成績背后無比寂寞的勤奮。小編相信，每天都在勤奮練習(xí)，即使是一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)的進(jìn)步，大家一定可以成為人人稱贊的“牛人”。更多CFA考試資訊，點(diǎn)擊了解>
