percentage.

 Class ranking such as high, low and medium: Classification of risk into different
categories represents the probability. For classification, following words can be used such
as low, medium, high, often, always, sometimes, never and rarely.
 Ordinal grading such likely to occur, most likely to occur situation: the risk is ordered in
such a way that the first risk most likely to occur and second one next likely to occur and
so on.
 Relative likelihood of occurrence: if company has two possible risks, they can express
those risk in such a way that how much more likely one is occur than the other one.
