Risk and Uncertainty

Risk and Uncertainty

Difference between risk and uncertainty can be analyzed in term of available information and measurement.

1.    Available Information
Risk is based on the available information, while uncertainty there is no sufficient information available about the future outcome.

2.    Measurement
Risk can be measured in terms of probabilities because sufficient information is available for expected outcome, while uncertainty cannot be measured or predict with reliability. Therefore no probability can be set for uncertainty.
