Expected Monetary Value (EMV) is an integral part of risk management and used in the Perform Quantitative Risks Analysis process.
This technique involves mathematical calculations, and that is why many PMP aspirants ignore this concept. This is an important concept and I would not recommend you avoid it. Read this blog post and follow the examples. I believe it will help you understand the concept.

I have discussed risks and risk-related terms, including secondary risks and residual risks. But I see many professionals having issues with understanding these two risks.
They think residual and secondary risks are unknown risks. We use a fallback plan for them and use the management reserve if they occur.
Please understand this: residual and secondary risks are identified risks. You will carry out the contingency plan if any identified risk occurs and apply the fallback plan if it fails. In both cases, you will use the contingency reserve because it is for identified risks.
You will use the management reserve when any unidentified risk occurs.
Risk attitude has an important role in risk management, and any error in risk attitude can influence the effectiveness of your risk management and, ultimately, the success of your project. The risk management plan depends on your organization and stakeholders’ risk tolerance or attitude, which is to what extent your stakeholders are willing to take…
