Question

determine whether each statement is an advantage or disadvantage. options: predictions may be influenced by assumptions made by the modeler; ability to simulate hazardous events in a controlled environment; limited by the accuracy of available data; allows for the prediction of hazards before they occur.

Explanation:

1. "Predictions may be influenced by assumptions made by the modeler" is a disadvantage as it can lead to inaccuracies in the results.
2. "Ability to simulate hazardous events in a controlled environment" is an advantage as it allows for study and preparation without real - world risks.
3. "Limited by the accuracy of available data" is a disadvantage since poor - quality data can skew results.
4. "Allows for the prediction of hazards before they occur" is an advantage as it enables proactive measures.

Answer:

• "Predictions may be influenced by assumptions made by the modeler": Disadvantage
• "Ability to simulate hazardous events in a controlled environment": Advantage
• "Limited by the accuracy of available data": Disadvantage
• "Allows for the prediction of hazards before they occur": Advantage
