Read the statements.

Water bears are microscopic animals. When water bears are exposed to a vacuum of space, about 30% of them can survive.

A scientist is doing an experiment on water bears and vacuum exposure.

Which option is a prediction that relates the outcome of the scientist’s experiments with probability?


1. The scientist thinks water bears can survive vacuum exposure because they have little water in their bodies.

2. The scientist thinks that under some conditions, up to 40% of the water bears can survive.

3. The scientist thinks that there is a 15% chance that he will receive funding for more research.

4. The scientist thinks that other animals can also survive vacuum exposure.

Answer:

I would number 1

Explanation:

Tiny invertebrates called ‘water bears’ can survive in the vacuum of space, a European Space Agency experiment has shown. They are the first animals known to be able to survive the harsh combination of low pressure and intense radiation found in space.

Water bears, also known as tardigrades, are known for their virtual indestructibility on Earth. The creatures can survive intense pressures, huge doses of radiation, and years of being dried out.

This is some old research found about them hope u can find something from these two paragraphs.

The scientist thinks water bears can survive vacuum exposure because they have little water in their bodies. Hence, option  (1) is a prediction that relates the outcome of the scientist’s experiments with probability.

Tardigrades are a phylum of eight-legged segmented micro-animals, also known as water bears or moss piglets. Johann August Ephraim Goeze, a German biologist, initially identified them as Kleiner Wasserbär in 1773. ("little water bear"). They were given the Tardigrada moniker in 1777 by the Italian naturalist Lazzaro Spallanzani, which translates to "slow steppers."

They have been discovered in many different biospheres on Earth, including the Antarctic, deep water, tropical rainforests, and mountaintops. Individual species of tardigrades may endure extreme conditions that would swiftly kill most other known forms of life, including exposure to extreme temperatures, extreme pressures (both high and low), air deprivation, radiation, dehydration, and malnutrition. Even in space, tardigrades have managed to survive.
