Question

1. how can probability calculations aid in making decisions for environmental conservation?

a. by calculating the exact number of species saved
b. by determining the financial costs of conservation projects
c. by predicting the effectiveness of different conservation strategies
d. by identifying individuals responsible for pollution

Explanation:

Probability calculations are used to predict the likelihood of different outcomes. In environmental conservation, this can help predict the effectiveness of different conservation strategies. Calculating the exact number of species saved (a) is not a probability - based task. Determining financial costs (b) is more related to accounting or cost - benefit analysis. Identifying individuals responsible for pollution (d) is more about investigation and not probability calculations.

Answer:

C. By predicting the effectiveness of different conservation strategies
