Which of the following statements about the ‘What is Risk?’, ‘Risk and Human Bias’ and ‘What is Risk Management?’ sections of the lecture material are TRUE:
- If the probability of a pure-risk event occurring is ‘almost certain’ but the impact is only ‘minor’ then it would normally only require a low level of risk management planning because it only has a minor impact.
- An individual can either lose $100 for certain (with 100% probability) or take a gamble. The gamble involves a 10% probability of losing $1,000 and a 90% probability of losing $0. A typical person exhibiting human bias would usually take the gamble, even though the rational risk-averse choice would be to take the certain loss of $100.
