Question

Ryan, a polar biologist, is presenting to a panel of climate scientists about the effect of melting ice caps on polar bear populations. He should incorporate quantitative data wherever possible to support his claim. True or false

Answer 1

The correct answer is: True.

Step-by-step explanation:

• Quantitative data can be defined as the determination of the characteristics, property or feature of any subject, proposal or claim in numerical terms.
• In the given statement, Ryan wants to represent the impact of melting of ice caps on the population of the polar bears.
• Here, he has to collect data about the population of polar bears at regular intervals of five or ten years in the past till the point of time where he can get reliable information.
• Then he needs to compare the change (in all probability decrease) in polar bear population with increase in ice cap melting.
• This data Ryan needs to represent graphically and explain to the climate scientists.
• The numerical data provides a clear estimate of Ryan's claim and is the best way to convince the climate scientists about the seriousness of the problem.
