Comment on the quotation below from a climatologist.
"What I think is our best determination is it will be a colder than normal winter. I'm basing that on a couple of different things. First, in look at the past few winters,
there has been a lack of really cold weather. Even though we are not supposed to use the law of averages, we are due."
Choose the correct answer below.
O A. There is no "Law of Averages." She would be wrong to think they are "due" for a harsh'winter.
O B. The climatologist's prediction is probably wrong. Since the past few winters have not had very cold weather, it is more likely that the next winter will also not
have very cold weather.
O C. The climatologist is right in her assessment that she should not use the "Law of Averages." Her forecast for colder weather is likely accurate.
O D. The climatologist is likely inaccurate. Weather is too naturally unpredictable for forecasting to be reliable.
