Certified Incident Handler (ECIH v3) — Question 35

What is correct about Quantitative Risk Analysis:

Answer options

• A. It is Subjective but faster than Qualitative Risk Analysis
• B. Easily automated
• C. Better than Qualitative Risk Analysis
• D. Uses levels and descriptive expressions

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because Quantitative Risk Analysis involves subjective evaluations but typically offers quicker results compared to Qualitative Risk Analysis. Options B and D are incorrect since Quantitative Risk Analysis is not easily automated and does not primarily rely on levels and descriptive expressions, which are more characteristic of Qualitative Risk Analysis. Option C is misleading as it suggests a superiority that is not universally true; both methodologies have their own strengths and contexts.
