• dissension

• consensus

• individualism

• herd mentality

Description of the decision-making process of a new situation is:

• a longer process of weighing the variables, the alternatives, and potential consequences

• identifying a need

• the accurate transference of information der to represent the original document to the target document

• an ongoing cognitive activity of acquiring, integrating and expressing knowledge according to the task or situation at hand.

The definition of "policy" is:

• prudence or wisdom in the management of affairs

• a plan which maps every possible state to a recommended action

• a definite course or method of action selected from among alternatives

• a writing whereby a contract of insurance is made

Description of the decision-making process of a familiar situation is:

• acquiring new understanding

• turning a group of contributing individuals into a cohesive team

• Fairly fast, sometimes automatic based on previous experience

• the evidence of how schools accomplish their goals

The definition of "state" is:

• to cause to be known over a considerable area or by many people

• not in order

• a territory with its own government and borders within a larger country

• a unique position or condition

The definition of "STATES map" is:

• a road map for understanding how a robot can make choices to minimize the amount of time or effort it will take to reach their "goal state"

• a network of satellites and receiving devices used to determine the location of something on Earth

• a drawing or plan, in outline, of (any part of) the surface of the earth

• a device which detects or measures a physical property and records, indicates, or otherwise responds to it.

What is not an advantage of a decision tree?

• They handle a combination of numerical and non-numerical data

• They interpret data in a highly visual way

• They simplify decision-making across known options and outcomes

• They only lead to correct predictions

The definition of "end node" is:

• a place where systems interact or change

• a point where a wave function passes through zero

• the place at which a division occurs

• a representation of an outcome

What is not a disadvantage of a decision tree?

• they over-simplify the actual process

• they are bad for defining simple rules

• they not useful for continuous data

• they have lower prediction accuracy
