• Decisions based solely on intuition

• Choosing between a limited number of fixed options

Which model is best used for forecasting future values based on historical data?

• Optimization

• Linear regression

• Time series analysis

• Decision trees

What is a constraint in an optimization analysis?

• A condition that must be met for the solution to be valid

• A variable that can change freely

• A guideline for future decisions

• An optional factor

What does the objective function represent in optimization analysis?

• The variables that can be adjusted

• The limitations of the model

• The goal to be maximized or minimized

• The input data

What is the primary purpose of linear regression analysis?

• To find the optimal solution within given constraints

• To model and predict the relationship between variables
