Which of the Following Statements Are True

question 2

Multiple Choice

Which of the following statements are true:

• A)A fairly recent alternative to algebraic modeling is spreadsheet modeling.Instead of relating various quantities with algebraic equations and inequalities,we relate them in a spreadsheet with cell formulas.
• B)Data are usually meaningless until they are analyzed for trends,patterns,relationships,and other useful information
• C)Algebraic models,by means of algebraic equations and inequalities,specify a set of relationships in a very precise way.Their main drawback is that they require an ability to work with abstract mathematical symbols.
• D)When we make inferences from data and search for relationships in data,or when we use decision trees to help make decisions,we must deal with uncertainty.
• E)All of these options

Definitions:

Computational Reinforcement

Involves the application of computational models and algorithms to understand or implement reinforcement learning processes.

Variable-Ratio Schedule

A reinforcement schedule in which a response is rewarded after an unpredictable number of responses, leading to high and steady rates of response.

Postreinforcement Pause

A cessation of behavior following reinforcement on a ratio schedule, which is followed by resumption of responding at the intensity characteristic of that ratio schedule.

Behavioral Contrast

The phenomenon where the rate of response to one stimulus changes as a consequence of a change in reinforcement conditions for another stimulus.
