What is the difference between controllable and noncontrollable risk factors?
Consider these two risks:- 1) that you will be hit by a meteorite. 2) that you will be sick because you ate bad food.

However the second risk is controllable because you can take care to see that your food is fresh and well cooked - in other words you can lessen this risk.
