Probability and Utility — Dual Concepts in Decision Theory

In evaluating a risky prospect a decision maker will usually take into account (a) all the possible gains and losses (i.e. the consequences), that might occur if the prospect were adopted, (b) the corresponding probabilities of the occurrences of these gains or losses.
