From the Paper:

"Probability can be used in business to help determine the likelihood that certain future events will occur (Arsham, 1994). It can also help executives base decisions on the most probable positive outcome given multiple scenarios to choose from. Probability analysis is a widely used business tool for evaluating scenarios in a business environment.
Probability is the act of determining the likelihood that given phenomena will occur without relying solely on random guessing. Probability thus helps managers and other business executives determine the best course of action given multiple alternatives (Arsham, 1994). Probability can also be used to determine the likelihood that adverse events will happen, such as the likelihood that certain threats to corporate assets will be realized within a designated time frame.
