    Dear sir, as I know sensitivity analysis is technique for analysing the uncertainty.Why the answer of Q32c in Mar/Jun 2017 said that it is a way of considering risk.Thank you.

    Thank you sir, but I do not understand
    If sensitivity is not a way to consider risk (as the requirement of the question); it should not be discussed at first.
    In stead of discussion on sensitivity at first; and at last, it said that however it is not to use to consider risk
    Do you think so ?

    No. As the examiner writes in his answer, although strictly speaking sensitivity is more concerned with measuring the effect of uncertainty, risk and uncertainty are inter-connected. The smaller the sensitivity the more risk there is of the uncertainty affecting the decision.
    I do say this in my free lectures.

    I wonder that if there is a multi choice question said that sensitivity analysis is technique for analyzing the risk. It is true or false ?

    False – nobody is saying that it analyses risk.
