many tasks, large and small, can be solved by performing a specific set of actions and making a particular set of decisions in very precise ways. these sets of actions and decisions are known as what?

• algorithms
• processes
• building blocks
• abstraction

which of the following could be represented by a boolean variable?

• whether a guest at a wedding is allergic to peanuts
• the number of tech support requests made in a day
• the weight of a truck as recorded at a weigh-station
• the direction a car proceeds in at a 4-way intersection

Explanation:

Question 6

An algorithm is a precise set of actions and decisions to solve a task. Processes are more general workflows, building blocks are components, and abstraction simplifies complexity. So the correct option is the one matching the definition of an algorithm.

A boolean variable has two values (true/false). "Whether a guest is allergic to peanuts" is a yes/no (true/false) situation. The other options are numerical or have multiple non - boolean states (number of requests, weight, direction).

Answer:

A. Algorithms
