PRMIA Exam 8010 Topic 5 Question 70 Discussion

Actual exam question for PRMIA's 8010 exam
Question #: 70
Topic #: 5
[All 8010 Questions]

The probability of default of a security during the first year after issuance is 3%, that during the second and third years is 4%, and during the fourth year is 5%. What is the probability that it would not have defaulted at the end of four years from now?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

The probability that the security would not default in the next 4 years is equal to the probability of survival at the end of the four years. In other words, =(1 - 3%)*(1 - 4%)*(1 - 4%)*(1 - 5%) = 84.93%. Choice 'd' is the correct answer.

You know, I once had a pet security that defaulted on me. Traumatic experience, let me tell you. Anyway, I'm going with B. 88.53% because it sounds the most secure.

I think the answer is B) 88.53% because you have to calculate the complement of the probability of default at each year.
