Suppose you have a big group presentation tomorrow for a class and are worried that your group members will forget to bring their materials. The probability that Group Member 1 will forget his materials is 0.50, the probability that Group Member 2 will forget his materials is 0.25, and the probability that Group Member 3 will forget her materials 0.60.

Describe, exemplify, and/or illustrate: (i) the Three Pillars of Sustainability in its entirety [out of 6 pts], (ii) the difference between climate change mitigation and adaptation strategy or technology [out of 3 pts], and (iii) the meaning of the Jevon’s Paradox [out of 3 pts].   A new car technology reduces environmental impacts and has been deemed to satisfy economic requirements. However, the car’s marketing and design tends to attract only a small part of society for its use, making it an unsatisfactory option for society overall. Given this information and using your responses to part “i” and “ii” as reference, (iv) describe which ‘partial’ or weak sustainability category this technology falls into and why [out of 4 pts], and (v) describe if this technology falls within the climate change mitigation or adaptation category and why [out of 4 pts].
