Thinking and Decision Making

What characterizes heuristic problem-solving approaches?

• Slow and methodical

• Simple strategies that allow for fast problem-solving, but are more error-prone

• Guaranteed to provide the correct solution

• Logical, step-by-step procedures

What is a heuristic in problem-solving?

• A logical, step-by-step procedure

• A guaranteed method to find the correct solution

• An informal method or guideline that allows for faster problem-solving

• A complex algorithm

What is an example of a heuristic approach?

• A formula

• Following a logical, methodical procedure

• Using a "rule of thumb" strategy

• Solving problems step-by-step

What is the primary advantage of heuristic problem-solving approaches?

• They are guaranteed to provide the correct solution

• They are fast, allowing for quick problem-solving

• They involve logical, step-by-step procedures

What characterizes algorithmic problem-solving approaches?

• They are slow and error-prone

• They are simple strategies that allow for fast problem-solving

• They involve logical, step-by-step procedures that guarantee a solution

• They are informal methods or guidelines

What characterizes an algorithmic problem-solving approach?

• It is fast and relies on intuition

• It is logical, methodical, and step-by-step

• It is error-prone and heuristic

• It is based on stereotypes and quick judgments

What does an algorithm guarantee in problem-solving?

• Fast problem-solving

• It minimizes errors

• It provides the correct solution if done correctly

• It relies on heuristics

Which of the following best describes an algorithm?
