  9. Control: It can be controlled
  10. Risk Mgt: Risk Mgt. is required to avoid it.

Uncertainty

  1. Definition: If no information is available to formulate the probability distribution of the situation is known as.
  2. Probability distribution: Probabilities cannot be assigned in case of uncertainty.
  3. From: It is formed by no information with probability.
  4. Measure: It cannot be measured.
  5. Tools: There is no tool for measurement.
  6. Income: It is related to income.
  7. Avoidance: It is unavoidable.
  8. Insurance: It is no insurable.
