Consider some of the risks that may affect the successful completion of the research paper. List at least three of the risks, determine the probability of the risk occurring $($high$,$ medium, or low$)$ and the negative impact of the risk if it does occur $($high$,$ medium, low$).$ Create a risk matrix. Use the format below for listing the risk, the impact, and the probability. Note that the impact can be high, medium, or low, and the probability can be high, medium, or low. Note that section $3\mathrm{.}8$ in the book discusses risk management.

Risk $1$ medium impact, medium probability

Risk $2$ high impact, low probability

Risk $3$ low impact, high probability

Create a risk response plan for each of the three risks you listed in the previous question using the following format. Note that section $3\mathrm{.}8$ in the book discusses risk management.

Risk $1$ action plan to deal with$/$mitigate risk.

Risk $2$ action plan to deal with$/$mitigate risk.

Risk $3$ action plan to deal with$/$mitigate risk.
