Climate change mitigation is the action to reduce the intensity of radiative forcing in order to reduce the effects of global warming (IPCC‚ 2006). Climate change mitigation can be done through several means such as developing alternative energy which includes renewable and nuclear energy‚ decreasing the carbon intensity of fossil fuel through carbon capture and sequestering‚ reforestation and also simply by conserving energy. Based on the cost-benefit analysis of each methods‚ I believe that the

1) What is the difference between probability distributions and frequency distributions? Provide an example that demonstrates the difference between the two. A probability distribution directly corresponds to a frequency distribution‚ except that it is based on theory (probability theory)‚ rather than on what is observed in the real world (empirical data). A frequency distribution is based on actual observations. An example would be observing a coin be flipped twenty times. A probability distribution
