Explanation

Probability distributions (e.g., triangular, beta/PERT, normal distributions) are used in quantitative risk analysis to represent uncertainty in continuous variables such as activity durations, resource costs, or quantities. They define the range of possible values and the likelihood of each outcome. Tools like Monte Carlo simulation sample from these distributions thousands of times to produce a probability distribution of overall project cost or schedule outcomes. They are not used for probability-impact matrices (Choice C, which is qualitative), risk identification (Choice D), or resource bias assessments (Choice B).
