Question

Before school, Kyle could not find his cell phone. Kyle tells his mom that he's already looked everywhere. Mom knows that Kyle sometimes looks at his phone in bed before falling asleep. She decides to look under his bed and finds the phone. What decision-making method did Kyle's mom most likely use?

Answer 1

Answer:

deductive decision-making strategy

Explanation:

In this scenario, it seems that Kyle's mom is most likely using a deductive decision-making strategy. This is when the individual goes through the process of reasoning from one or more statements (premises) in order to reach a logical conclusion. Which in this case Kyle's mom knew that Kyle sometimes sleeps with his phone next to him and that it there is space where it can fall. Using these two premises she deduced that the phone is most likely under the bed.
