Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A prescriptive model specifies how things should be done or evaluated, while a descriptive model describes how things are actually done or evaluated. Option A is incorrect because a hypothetical model does not necessarily refer to how people behave or carry out an action, but rather a theoretical possibility. Option B is incorrect because conditional and syllogistic models do not necessarily refer to the evaluation of probabilities or the behavior of people in the context of hypotheses. Option D is incorrect because inductive and deductive models pertain to reasoning processes rather than probabilities or actual behavior.
