Abstract
This chapter provides a review of concepts from probability and statistics that are useful for risk assessment. It begins with a review of probability density distribution functions, then covers how these functions are used as models for variability and uncertainty in risk assessment, describes how these functions are fit to it particular cases by estimating parameters, and describes one method, bootstrapping, for quantifying uncertainty in these parameter estimates.
