'''Probabilistic thinking''' is a way of approaching situations and potential problems by considering the likelihood of a different range of outcomes on a continuum rather than assuming a single, certain outcome. It involves acknowledging uncertainty, estimating probabilities, and making sound and wise decisions based on expected value. This approach can lead to more informed decisions and better management of [[risk]] in various aspects of life.<ref>[https://www.google.com/search?q=probabilistic+thinking&oq=probabilistic+thinking&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyCQgAEEUYORiABDIHCAEQABiABDIHCAIQABiABDIICAMQABgWGB4yCggEEAAYChgWGB4yCAgFEAAYFhgeMggIBhAAGBYYHjIICAcQABgWGB4yCAgIEAAYFhgeMgYICRAuGEDSAQg4NjIyajBqMagCALACAA&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 Probabilistic thinking]</ref> [[Probability|Probabilistic]] thinking is useful in identifying the most likely outcomes and the best decisions to make.<ref>[https://hbr.org/2020/02/develop-a-probabilistic-approach-to-managing-uncertainty Develop a “Probabilistic” Approach to Managing Uncertainty], Harvard Business Review</ref>

[[Rational thinking]] employs probabilistic thinking. The opposite of probabilistic thinking is binary/all-or-nothing thinking, having an [[optimism bias]] such as having a "lottery mentality" or being a [[pessimist]] who engages in [[negative thinking]] (See: [[Cognitive bias]]).
