Short Essay Questions (SEQs)

(Each question carries 5 marks)

1. Explain the key differences between deterministic and stochastic models. Provide
examples to illustrate how each type of model would approach a real-world problem
like inventory management.

2. Discuss the limitations of deterministic models in handling real-world uncertainties.


How can deterministic models still be useful despite these limitations? Use examples
from business or engineering to support your answer.
