Question

1. what is the primary goal of applying probability in health decisions?

a. to predict the exact outcome of health behaviors
b. to improve mathematical skills
c. to assess the risk and benefits of health - related choices
d. to calculate the cost of healthcare

Explanation:

Probability in health decisions is used to assess risks and benefits. It can't predict exact outcomes (a is wrong as health is complex with uncertainties). Improving math skills (b) is not the goal. Calculating cost (d) is not the main purpose. Assessing risk - benefit (c) aligns with how probability is applied in health (e.g., in treatment decisions, probability helps weigh risks of side - effects vs benefits of cure).

Answer:

C. To assess the risk and benefits of health - related choices
