Chapter One Introduction to Risk Managemnt
Objective Risk
Defined as the relative variation of actual loss from expected loss
Declines as the number of exposure units increases
Can be measured by using the standard deviation or coefficient of variation
Subjective Risk
Defined as uncertainty based on one’s mental condition or state of mind
Difficult to measure
Chance of Loss
Objective Probability
A priori—by logical deduction such as in games of chance
Empirically—by induction, through analysis of data
Subjective Probability
a personal estimate of the chance of loss. It need not coincide with objective probability and is influenced by a variety of factors including age, sex, intelligence, education, and personality.
Chance of Loss Distinguished from Risk
although chance of loss may be the same for two groups, the relative variation of actual loss from expected loss may be quite different.

Peril—defined as the cause of loss
Hazard
hysical hazard—
Moral hazard
Attitudinal (Morale) hazard
Legal hazard
