Meaning of Risk: Risk is defined as the probability of an event and its consequences. Risk management is the practice of using processes, methods and tools for managing these risks. Meaning of Uncertainty: Uncertainty is a state where the extent of risk and when the risk hits is unknown, (ie) – we know what the risk is but are uncertain of the outcome yet. The main categories of risk to consider are: • Strategic Risk: Strategic risks are those risks associated with operating in a particular industry

Uncertainty Uncertainty allows us to be able to learn and grow as human beings. In many stories and poems addressed the main idea of uncertainty and how the limitation of our perception affect our way of learning and perceive information. The idea of uncertainty is central to Emily Dickinson’s poem “We grow accustomed to the Dark”, she asserts the inevitability of getting used to experiences and how our eyes adjust to a new normal. Furthermore, the limitation of our perception helps us to have

number of uncertainties; some small and miniscule, such as meeting a student next to you in a classroom, while others life-changing and pivotal, including switching careers or becoming a parent. As each new unpredictable day arises, uncertainty fills the air, constantly swarming one’s emotions and daily interactions. While factors of uncertainty revolve around routinely aspects, Charles Berger and Richard Calabrese (1975) narrowed their focus and devised a theory specifically on uncertainty and interpersonal

Reasoning Under Uncertainty Most tasks requiring intelligent behavior have some degree of uncertainty associated with them. The type of uncertainty that can occur in knowledge-based systems may be caused by problems with the data. For example: 1. Data might be missing or unavailable 1. Data might be present but unreliable or ambiguous due to measurement errors. 1. The representation of the data may be imprecise or inconsistent. 1. Data may just

Objective The purpose for this experiment was to gain a better understanding of the two types of errors that occur in the processes of taking measurements. Also, it explains how the uncertainty level in direct measurements was found, and how the indirect measurements were calculated as well. To do that, dimensions and the mass of the metal block was measured, which were used to calculate the volume and density of the object as well as the margin of error. Theory In this lab, there were direct

(2005), scientific uncertainty often becomes an excuse to ignore long-term problems, such as climate change. It does not have to be so. In everyday life, responsible people look out for the long term despite the needs of the here and now: we do homework, we save for retirement, and we take out insurance. The same principles should surely apply to society as a whole. But how can leaders weigh the present against the future? How can they avoid retrenchment by scientific uncertainty? Analysts have
