Explanation:
The contract change control system is part of the project's change control system. It addresses changes with the vendor that may affect the project contract. Change control system, a part of the configuration management system, is a collection of formal documented procedures that define how project deliverables and documentation will be controlled, changed, and approved.
Incorrect Answers:
B: The scope may change because of the stakeholder change request.
Vendor's relationship to the project, hence this choice is not the best answer.
C: The cost change control system manages changes to costs in the project.
D: There is no indication that the change could affect the project schedule.

Explanation:
A quantitative risk assessment quantifies risk in terms of numbers such as dollar values. This involves gathering data and then entering it into standard formulas. The results can help in identifying the priority of risks. These results are also used to determine the effectiveness of controls. Some of the terms associated with quantitative risk assessments are:
* Single loss expectancy (SLE)-It refers to the total loss expected from a single incident. This incident can occur when vulnerability is being exploited by threat. The loss is expressed as a dollar value such as
$1,000. It includes the value of data, software, and hardware. SLE = Asset value * Exposure factor
* Annual rate of occurrence (ARO)-It refers to the number of times expected for an incident to occur in a year. If an incident occurred twice a month in the past year, the ARO is 24. Assuming nothing changes, it is likely that it will occur 24 times next year. Annual loss expectancy (ALE)-It is the expected loss for a year.
ALE is calculated by multiplying SLE with ARO. Because SLE is a given in a dollar value, ALE is also given in a dollar value. For example, if the SLE is $1,000 and the ARO is 24, the ALE is $24,000.
* ALE = SLE * ARO Safeguard value-This is the cost of a control. Controls are used to mitigate risk. For example, antivirus software of an average cost of $50 for each computer. If there are 50 computers, the safeguard value is $2,500. A, B, C: These are wrong formulas and are not used in quantitative risk assessment.

D, and C are incorrect. All these are outputs from the "Plan Risk Management" process, which happens prior to the starting of risk identification.
