Match the correct term to the definition. What-if Analysis Sensitivity Analysis Goal seeking analysis Optimization Analysis A. A
special case of what-if analysis, is the study of the impact on other variables when one variable is changed repeatedly. B. Finds the input necessary to achieve a goal such as a desired level of output. C. An extension of goal-seeking analysis, finds the optimum value for a target variable by repeatedly changing other variables, subject to specified constraints. D. Checks the impact of a change in a variable or assumptions on the model.
A. A special case of what-if analysis, is the study of the impact on other variables when one variable is changed repeatedly.
Sensitivity analysis- D. Checks the impact of a change in a variable or assumptions on the model.
Goal seeking analysis- B. Finds the input necessary to achieve a goal such as a desired level of output
Optimization Analysis- C. An extension of goal-seeking analysis, finds the optimum value for a target variable by repeatedly changing other variables, subject to specified constraints.
Explanation:
The above are all related in some way; all connected to the what if analysis. What if analysis measures the change in target variables as a result of repeated change(hence the needed what if analysis) in variables or scenarios in a business case for instance. For example a change in information for a marketing strategy to see how it affects profit or market success. Sensitivity analysis is a form of what if analysis and the example above could also apply. We could also see how goal and optimization analysis come in here.
The answer that best fits the blank is PROJECTIVE MEASURE. Since Dr. Crane is searching for a test that he can utilize for a better understanding about the unconscious motivations of his client, therefore, he would most likely use a projective measure. This type of measure is by letting the client respond to the given stimulus.
(with reference to a soluble chemical or mineral) drain away from soil, ash, or similar material by the action of percolating liquid, especially rainwater.
