Certified Fire Protection Specialist (CFPS) — Question 38

When doing an event-tree analysis, what is the term for an event with the likelihood of occurring several times during a system's life (p>0 001)?

Answer options

• A. Frequent
• B. Probable
• C. Remote
• D. Improbable

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The term 'Frequent' indicates that the event is expected to occur several times, which aligns with the probability defined (p>0.001). The other options, such as 'Probable', 'Remote', and 'Improbable', suggest lower frequencies of occurrence, which do not fit the description of an event that is likely to happen multiple times.
