      When the inputs, process and the outputs are known with certainty, then this system is called?

      A. Probabilistic
      B. Deterministic
      C. Open
      D. Close



      Answer & Solution
      Option: B
      Explanation : A system is deterministic if its outputs are certain. This means that the relationships between its components are fully known and certain. Hence, when an input is given the output is fully predictable. An example of a deterministic system is the common entrance examination for entry into IIM. All the entities in the system and their interrelationships are well known and given an input the output can be determined with certainty.

        Which set of processes and procedures that transform data into information and knowledge?

        A. Information system
        B. Knowledge system
        C. Database system
        D. Computer system



        Answer & Solution
        Option: A
        Explanation : Information systems (IS) are formal, sociotechnical, organizational systems designed to collect, process, store, and distribute information. In a sociotechnical perspective information systems are composed by four components: task, people, structure (or roles), and technology.
        A computer information system is a system composed of people and computers that processes or interprets information.The term is also sometimes used in more restricted senses to refer to only the software used to run a computerized database or to refer to only a computer system.
        Information Systems is an academic study of systems with a specific reference to information and the complementary networks of hardware and software that people and organizations use to collect, filter, process, create and also distribute data.
