Question

Experts tend to assign the _____ to hazards that take many lives at once as they do to hazards that take many lives one at a time. Select one: a. bias b. same weights c. different weights d. values

Answer 1

Answer:

Option C, SAME WEIGHTS

Explanation:

A hazard is any source of potential damage, harm or adverse health effects on something or someone.

Risk assessment is a framework that uses hazard category as a starting point for evaluating risks. Risk assessment can be used in any situation where death, system loss, or property, equipment or environmental damage is a concern.

Experts use different risk assessment methods and approaches. Technical experts assign same weights to different ways of dying so they assign equal weights to hazards that take many lives at one time and to hazards that many lives at once.

Therefore, the answer that best suits the question is option C. Experts tend to assign the SAME WEIGHTS to hazards that take many lives at once as they do to hazards that take many lives one at a time.
