ANSWERS
1. Dashboard |Summary |Targets |Override |Conditions
Question:
What |must |be |true |in |order |for |a |metric-based |component |to |be |overridden |by |dashboard-level
|Summary |Targets? |(Choose |ALL |that |apply)
a) The |component's |Dynamic |Location |Method |CANNOT |be |set |to |"None"
b) The |component's |Data |Source |MUST |be |Dashboard |Resources
c) The |list |of |Selectable |Summary |Levels |listed |for |the |dashboard |must |be |the |same |as |the |list
|of |Summary |Levels |listed |for |the |component |on |the |Data |Source |form
d) The |"Use |override |settings |to |control |components |on |this |dashboard" |MUST |be |checked
|on |the |Resource |Settings |form |of |the |dashboard
Correct |Answers: |a, |b, |d
Rationale:
Overrides |require |dynamic |context |and |permission. |The |component |must |not |use |a |static
method |("None"), |must |source |data |from |Dashboard |Resources, |and |the |dashboard |must |have
|override |settings |enabled. |Matching |Summary |Levels |is |not |required |for |override |functionality.
2. Analytics |Catalog |Report |Visibility
|Question:
True |or |False: |In |order |for |a |user |to |see |a |report |in |the |Analytics |Catalog, |the |user |and |the
|report |must |have |at |least |one |report |group |in |common.
Correct |Answer: |True
Rationale:
Visibility |in |the |Analytics |Catalog |is |based |on |shared |report |groups. |Without |at |least |one
|common |group, |the |report |will |not |appear |to |the |user.
,3. SlicerDicer |Component |Visibility
|Question:
A |user |creates |a |SlicerDicer |component |using |"Create |Component |from |Dashboard |Options."
|Who |can |see |this |component |when |they |view |the |dashboard?
a) Any |user |who |shares |a |Report |Group |with |the |component
b) An |administrator |using |the |Dashboard |Editor
c) Any |user |who |has |access |to |the |dashboard
d) Just |the |user |who |created |it
Correct |Answer: |d
Rationale:
SlicerDicer |components |created |from |the |dashboard |are |user-specific |and |not |added |to |the
|source |dashboard. |Therefore, |only |the |creator |can |see |them |in |their |personal |view.
4. Definition |of |JDM
Question:
|
What |is |JDM?
a) The |study |of |intuitive |statistics
b) The |study |of |judgment |and |decision-making |behavior, |formal |decision |models, |and
|the |differences |between |them
c) Judgment |and |Decision |Making
d) The |process |of |choosing |from |alternatives |using |logic
Correct |Answer: |c
Rationale:
JDM |stands |for |“Judgment |and |Decision |Making,” |which |includes |studying |human |behavior,
|formal |models, |and |biases |involved |in |decisions.
5. Normative |Models |of |JDM
Question:
|
Which |statement |best |describes |normative |models |in |JDM?
a) They |describe |how |people |actually |make |decisions
b) They |are |psychological |theories |of |judgment
,c) They |are |mathematical |models |that |allow |us |to |evaluate |judgments
d) They |originate |from |behavioral |experiments
Correct |Answer: |c
Rationale:
Normative |models |are |standards |(derived |from |probability |and |utility |theory) |against |which
|judgments |can |be |evaluated.
6. Descriptive |Models
Question:
|
Descriptive |models |in |JDM |are |best |defined |as:
a) Tools |to |correct |poor |decision-making
b) Psychological |theories |that |explain |how |people |actually |make |decisions
c) Mathematical |models |of |optimal |decision-making
d) Economic |theories |of |risk |and |reward
Correct |Answer: |b
Rationale:
Descriptive |models |aim |to |explain |real-world |human |decision-making |behavior |and |the
|presence |of |biases.
7. Prescriptive |Models
Question:
|
What |is |the |purpose |of |prescriptive |models |in |JDM?
a) Measure |the |probability |of |an |event
b) Help |us |eliminate |biases |and |improve |decision-making
c) Evaluate |decisions |using |formal |standards
d) Describe |intuitive |behavior
Correct |Answer: |b
Rationale:
Prescriptive |models |are |intended |to |improve |decision-making |by |applying |techniques |to |reduce
|or |eliminate |known |biases.
8. Ideal |Plan |of |JDM
, Question:
What |is |the |ideal |process |for |Judgment |and |Decision |Making?
a) Use |descriptive |models, |apply |heuristics, |validate |decisions
b) Apply |normative |models, |identify |biases, |understand |them, |and |apply
|prescriptive |improvements
c) Test |decisions, |reflect, |retry
d) Use |fast |and |frugal |trees |to |simplify |decisions
Correct |Answer: |b
Rationale:
The |ideal |plan |combines |normative |evaluation, |descriptive |diagnosis, |and |prescriptive
|intervention |to |refine |decision-making.
9. Categories |of |Normative |Models
Question:
|
Which |of |the |following |is |NOT |one |of |the |five |main |categories |of |normative |models?
a) Quantitative |judgment
b) Groupthink |consensus |evaluation
c) Judgments |of |probability
d) Expected |Utility |Theory |(EUT)
Correct |Answer: |b
Rationale:
Groupthink |is |not |a |normative |model. |The |five |categories |include |quantitative |judgment,
|probability |judgment, |coherence |across |decisions, |etc.
10. Expected |Utility |Theory |(EUT)
Question:
|
Expected |Utility |Theory |(EUT) |involves:
a) Describing |how |people |behave |irrationally |under |uncertainty
b) Using |intuition |to |assign |values |to |outcomes
c) Evaluating |choices |based |on |probabilities |and |utilities
d) Predicting |group |decisions |in |real-time |scenarios
Correct |Answer: |c
