Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The best models accurately reflect relevant characteristics of the real-world object or decision. While mathematical models can be useful, they are not always necessary or applicable. Replicating all aspects of the real-world object or decision may not be feasible or necessary for the model's intended purpose. Similarly, replicating a component in isolation may not provide a complete understanding of the system as a whole.
