Cpcu 500 Ch. 1 Overview Of Risk
Management Questions And Answers
With Verified Solutions Already Rated A+
uncertainty (of outcome) - ANSWER✔✔ about the type of outcome, timing of the
outcome, or both


possibility (of a negative outcome) - ANSWER✔✔ an outcome or event may or
may not occur


probability - ANSWER✔✔ the likelihood that an outcome or event will occur


Describe the two elements of risk. - ANSWER✔✔ 1) uncertainty of risk- risk
involves uncertainty about the type of outcome, the timing of the outcome or
both
2) possibility of a negative outcome- at least one of the potential outcomes is
negative which means a loss or a reduction in value


Describe the difference between possibility and probability. - ANSWER✔✔
Possibility means that an outcome or event may or may not occur. It does not
quantify risk; it only verifies that risk is present. Probability, the likelihood that an
outcome or event will occur, quantifies risk. It is measurable and has a value
between zero and one.


Explain how understanding various outcome probabilities can aid an organization
in its risk management efforts. - ANSWER✔✔ With an understanding of various
outcome probabilities, an organization can focus its risk management efforts on
risks that can be appropriately managed. The organization can also use

, probabilities to decide which activities (and associated risks) to undertake and
which risk management techniques to use.
