Problem-solving methods that guarantee solutions if appropriate and properly executed are called ________.
A) algorithms
B) prototypes
C) heuristics
D) noncompensatory models

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Algorithms are problem-solving methods that follow a specific set of steps or rules to guarantee a solution if executed properly. Prototypes are preliminary versions of a product or idea. Heuristics are problem-solving methods that are based on trial and error or using past experiences to guide decision making. Noncompensatory models are decision-making models that eliminate options that do not meet certain criteria, but do not guarantee a solution.
