INTRODUCTION TO MECHANISM DESIGN WITH COMPUTERS APLLICATIONS[] System - CORRECT ANSWERS-A set of componets arranged to work together Information - CORRECT ANSWERS-Data that is relevant to decision making; selected and arranged so that it is useful. When data is combined, it becomes information. Information has meaning, data does not Decision Making - making CORRECT ANSWERS-The cognitive process, resulting in the selection of a course of action from among several alternative possibilities. Information (not data) is used to support decision Data - CORRECT ANSWERS-Facts that may or may not be relevant to decision making. Data alone has no meaning or use.
