Questions and Answers

In a dynamic model, what is meant by certainty?

  • A scenario where variables and parameters are known, but with some degree of ambiguity.
  • A scenario where all variables and parameters have some degree of uncertainty.
  • A scenario where all variables and parameters are known with absolute precision. (correct)
  • A scenario where some variables and parameters are known, while others are unknown.

What is characteristic of known parameters in a certainty case?

  • They are approximately known and may change over time.
  • They are precisely known, but may change over time.
  • They are unknown and may change over time.
  • They are precisely known and do not change over time. (correct)

What is predictable in a certainty case?

  • Any changes or fluctuations in the system. (correct)
  • Only historical data.
  • Only future events.
  • Neither historical data nor future events.

Dynamic Model

  • A dynamic model represents systems that change over time
  • Certainty case in a dynamic model:
    • All variables and parameters are known with absolute precision
