Wording - prescription vs prediction Forum

[bulawschool]

While doing PT 45 S4 Q19- I came across a question.
Does "making a bold prescription on the basis of a high probability..." mean the same thing as "making a prediction based on probability"?
So in essence, "prescription" can mean the same thing as "prediction"?

And yes, I have already consulted with dictionary.com before writing this post.

Nope, not in the context of this argument.

He's prescribing funding to protect the planet from potential meteorite strikes based on the evidence brought forward in the stimulus. Thus, prescribing ≠ predicting

On the LSAT prescription is always describing a solution to a problem.
