Probability is the branch of mathematics concerned with the assessment and analysis of
uncertainty. The theory of probability provides the means to rationally model, analyze and
solve problems where future events cannot be foreseen with certitude. In numerous
managerial decision problems, especially those with strategic implications, it is not possible
to ascertain the results to be obtained when choosing a course of action. In such cases, if one
wants to act rationally —to maximize the chances of attaining one’s goal— it becomes
necessary to explicitly deal with the uncertainty posed by the problem. Thus, probability
theory is indispensable for rational decision making.
Probability distribution is one of the tool that helps in decision making .probability distribution
is the one that have outcomes that come in a given range. It help in sales prediction, risk
assessment and to make the proper decisions. Futures sales are predicted through probability
distribution to get a maximum profit they also use forecasting that helps the companies to
achieve positive outcomes for their firms.
