What is the objective of risk and probability?

Expert Solution
Step 1

Risk management is the need of every business . But what is risk ? Risk is the event that not to occur . In every organization whenever  a risk comes then immediately they start finding their probability . Probability generally a number or any claim which gives the prediction results . 

Risk : 

    Risk is first relates to uncertainty that may occur or may not occur . Risk is something that not happened yet so we can call it just to backup plan for the future records. As every business and management systems work on different projects , they invest lot of time and invest their money , after completing the project there always be some risky environment like their loss or profits , down prices or can be many more , so to get the idea about them probability provides evidence to their risks. 

Probability : 

        Generally , its definition is chance of occurrence of any event . Probability is possibility , it gives estimates for the prediction and provides many results for the future purpose . In the management organizations, probability is the possibility of their risks .The probability is a single percentage number and does not have to be exact as long as the group applies a consistent approach to estimating the probabilities for all the risks. 

  • Probability is lies between 0 to 1.  If probability equal to zero we can say risk event does not exist.  And if probability equal to one we can say the event is no longer a risk.  Thus , Risk is the probability of loss.
