When a writer is researching and gathering information to write a cohesive story they are

QRST #3: Aggregating Evidence needing to look for certain sources in order to make sure the resources they are using are supporting their view or topic. The writer must be able to blend the sources together and make sure they are not only supporting each other but not causing confusion because of wording or stance. Aggregating Evidence is vastly used in the Healthcare profession to way the probability versus the likelihood of something happening. When looking at the two words people might think they are the same thing, a person is waying the odds of something happening or taking place. Probability is taking a guess at something such as a hypothesis, the writer is taking a guess at what the outcome might be based on the sources they are finding before they conduct their experiment. When using evidence there will come times where you will find conflicting statements but they are both saying the same thing. As a writer, they have to weigh the options and figure out which one is going to be the best support to the story and to show the big picture that is being portrayed to the reader. There will always be conflicts when researching topics, there will always be someone who believes they have more insight or history on the topic and their findings are the correct ones. Using probability and likelihood is using context clues and the likelihood of the evidence being available to show how the hypothesis is going to be proven correct or incorrect (Barends, E. & Rousseau, D. Pg. 252). In order to know which class of evidence to use is dependent upon the type of hypothesis and what kind of data or sources are needed to prove or disprove the overall hypothesis question. When probability is used the writer is estimating how probable the hypothesis is to be correct or incorrect (Barends, E. & Rousseau, D. Pg. 252). Likelihood and probability are two very different options when researching and finding evidence to prove or disprove a hypothesis. Each one has its own use and should be used correctly to defend or dispute the question. Resources
