Revise: Evaluating Risks and BenefitsA calculated risk is a statistical estimate of the chance of harm. It can be assessed by looking at how often harm occurs in a large group over a given period of time. A perceived risk is how large that risk seems to a person.
Do not treat a person's estimate of danger as the calculated risk. State how the calculated risk was estimated.
