Question

When the value of the output cannot be determined even if the value of the controllable input is known, the model is:_________

Answer 1

Answer:

c. stochastic.

Explanation:

A stochastic model is a tool in statistics, used to estimate the probability distributions of intended outcomes by the allowance of random variation in any number of the inputs over time. For a stochastic model, Inputs to a quantitative model are uncertain, and the value of the output from a stochastic model cannot be easily determined, even if the value of the input that can be determined is known. The distributions of the resulting outcomes of a stochastic model is usually due to the large number of simulations involved, and it is widely used as a statistical tool in the life sciences.
