Dear sir, as I know sensitivity analysis is technique for analysing the uncertainty.Why the answer of Q32c in Mar/Jun 2017 said that it is a way of considering risk.Thank you.
November 1, 2020 at 5:32 pm #593761The examiners explains this in the last sentence to this part of his answer 🙂
November 2, 2020 at 1:43 am #593791Thank you sir, but I do not understand
If sensitivity is not a way to consider risk (as the requirement of the question); it should not be discussed at first.
In stead of discussion on sensitivity at first; and at last, it said that however it is not to use to consider risk
Do you think so ?November 2, 2020 at 8:55 am #593814No. As the examiner writes in his answer, although strictly speaking sensitivity is more concerned with measuring the effect of uncertainty, risk and uncertainty are inter-connected. The smaller the sensitivity the more risk there is of the uncertainty affecting the decision.
I do say this in my free lectures.November 2, 2020 at 9:32 am #593830I wonder that if there is a multi choice question said that sensitivity analysis is technique for analyzing the risk. It is true or false ?
November 2, 2020 at 9:36 am #593832False – nobody is saying that it analyses risk.
