2. Explain the differences between static and dynamic models. How can one evolve into the other?
3. What is the difference between an optimistic approach and a pessimistic approach to decision making under assumed uncertainty?
4. Explain why solving problems under uncertainty some- times involves assuming that the problem is to be solved under conditions of risk.
Exercise: 4

1. What is the relationship between prescriptive analytics and descriptive and predictive analytics?
2. Distinguish between static and dynamic models. How can one become the other?
3. What is the distinction between an optimistic and a pessimistic approach to decision making in the face of presumed uncertainty?
4. Explain why, in some cases, solving problems under uncertainty entails presuming that the problem is to be done under risky conditions.
4th exercise
Investigate how the U.S. Department of Homeland Security uses models and their solutions in the “war on terrorism” by conducting a Web search. Investigate how other governments or government agencies use models in their missions as well.
