Question

Discussion Topic: As part of their job, meteorologists make weather predictions from data. How accurate are their predictions? What are other scenarios in which you would use data to make a prediction? How would you defend your prediction using data?

Answer 1

Answer: 1. Not always accurate.

2. A football game.

3. By using the data from the winning percentage against number of games played.

Explanation:

Meteorologists are responsible for making weather predictions, but their predictions are always not accurate because they use datas and theory to predict the scenarios of the weather or what it might be. Their predictions are not accurate because of changes in weather or data being used unexpectedly.

A scenario where I would use data to make a prediction could be in a football match or game where you i have a percentage of winning, which depends on how many times the game is played.

The winning percentage gives us the data on the probability of winning the game which would help predict how many times you'll win a game by how many times the game is played.
